Park Central Hotel - AVOID
 
Just back from 3 nights at Park Central Hotel. Do not recommend. Beds were horrible, carpet worse, bath tub would not drain, received an unasked for 6 am wake up call on our day of departure. Too many other hotel choices, avoid this one.

Is this the Park Central in New York?

Yes, Park Central, NYC

The Park Central was a dump 15 years ago, when it was an Omni hotel. They finally took their name off - it was killing their reputation!

I remember reading an article in a hotel mag that Omni couldn't get away from that hotel fast enough!

Supposedly, however, they have remodeled and it's much better despite LisaB's bad experience. I have a friend who stays there twice a year and keeps going back. It's also cheaper than much of the competition, though, so buyer beware!

Is this the one on 8th? Close to twentyyears ago I got stuck there once or twice. I learned my lesson. They would hold a fashion jewelry show in the hotel. Oh how the vendors just hated the place!
I was a buyer so I only had to be there during the day. Then back to my nicer room, just about anywhere else!

It's on 7th Ave. at 55th St.

Oops! That's the one!
