10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good just bathroom was a little small it was a good view"

Park Lane New York

8/10 Good

"The hotel was expensive for the facilities, expected a coffee machine in the room. Very expensive in the restaurants. One was being refurbished! Avoid the underground, very hot and smelly."

Hilton Garden Inn New York/Central Park South-Midtown West

10/10 Excellent

"A little smaller room, but was a very nice room and was quiet."

YMCA West Side

8/10 Good

"This was a gem of a spot! Right between two subway stops! Across the street from Central Park. Safe, convenient and a good "home base". Room was tiny - but sufficient! Had a mini fridge to store water. Room was difficult for two people to get ready at the same time - but there are separate bathrooms available if you need space. I always saw someone cleaning bathrooms - all times of day / night. I think there were 13 bathrooms/showers on our floor. Never a problem or wait to use when I wanted. There a water refill station (first floor behind security) - bring your bottle with you. There's also a target two blocks up for misc. Amazingly different people staying - not any one demographic. Would definitely stay again."

The Wallace

10/10 Excellent

"We will certainly be staying here again whenever we travel to NY to see our daughter and son in law. So nice to find a place that was safe and comfortable feeling. Also walking distance to everywhere we visited."

Hotel Belleclaire Central Park, a Small Luxury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Close to Central Park, just a 7 minute walk! Staff recommended an awesome family owned restaurant which was in walking distance. If you needed info on transportation, etc they went above and beyond! This is our second stay at this hotel. Will be back again !"
