Fading glory
This must have been wonderful in its heyday. The rooms are large for NYC and well furnished with a very comfortable bed. The location is perfect, very central and right on the Park. And the restaurant and bar are not to be missed: we had a beautifully cooked and served meal overlooking Central Park views that made for memorable occasion. But where is the hotel staff ? I phoned for the Manager and concierge each four times because the room we were checked in to had a flooded bathroom. No one ever answered. (I went out and found a bellhop myself. )I was told my shoes would be shined if I left them outside my door overnight. That didn't happen either. Finally, there was a $10 charge on my bill for "minibar" usage which I had to dispute and eventually got it removed by going to Reception. But nobody answered the phone when I called from my room to complain about it.

Excelent experience on a class hotel
As stated in the title, it was a very good experience to stay in the Park Lane. the reception was warm and treatment excelent, in spite of the many guests we were waiting to check-in. Room with good confort and confortable bed, we ask for a king size bed and we got one, paying the agreed upgrade for that request. Continental Breakfast good and staff very helpfull and ready to attend the request. The nice athmosphere to stayy in a hotel with class and charm. Air conditioning too noize.

Fantastic ,romantic stay
Our stay was wonderful, when entering the hotel it was beautiful and then staff was very friendly. Upon entering the room the first thing I notice was the breath taking view we had overlooking the city. I had to immediately stand in the window and send a picture to my family. The room was so overwhelming and inviting until we barely left the room.LOL! We will definately visit again.

Fun Winter Weekend for 2
My husband & I drove to NYC from Baltimore & valet parked our large SUV at the hotel without difficulty. We checked in and our room was immediately ready for us. We were met by the doorman who was to bring our bags up for us, but after waiting 35 min in our room for them (I wanted to change), we returned to the lobby to find them still sitting on the cart, so we started to bring them up ourselves. Once we did that, the bell staff immediately came over & brought our luggage up, apologizing the whole way. Our room had an excellent view of Central Park, being on the 41st floor. It was simply gorgeous. The bathroom could stand for some updating, and surprisingly only has a standard tub/shower combo with peeling caulk. The toiletries are nice & are replaced daily. Our carpet had a huge ink stain that probably covered a good 10ft span in the room. That was a bit disappointing, coupled with the fair bathroom facility and the daily charge for wifi. (Really?) The gym facility was minimalistic & cramped. Not what we were expecting. The concierge in the front lobby is wonderful & super helpful. He was able to get us reservations to some fantastic restaurants two nights in a row with minimal notice & able to work within some dietary restrictions. He was great!! The location of this hotel is simply perfect. We walked everywhere one day, even in the cold of Feb., and took a chauffered car service another day to hit sights we couldn't walk to, like Ground Zero & the Freedom Tower, Wall Street, and for a concert at MSG. Overall, we had an amazing trip, I think the location of this hotel truly is one of the best, and with some bathroom reno's will be an absolute gem.

room with a view
park view in spring/summer/fall is brighter than winter. winter was still good. stay at hotel twice in two weeks....the city view ( cheaper) room and bed quality were both very good. the park view rooms were larger and calming view. The breakfast though nothing special was very nicely handled by a nice collection of distinctive experienced waiters. I was recuperating/resting while there...the beds were very very nice.

Fantastic location, great staff, great special rate
I was pleasantly surprised when we found this hotel for the special price we got, especially since our dates were December 29th and 30th. If it were not for this special rate, this hotel would have been out of our price range. The location was amazing (right across from Central Park on Central Park South), the staff was friendly and the room was very nice. If I had to find something wrong with this hotel, I'd say it was a little dated but that did not bother us at all since the room was clean and very well-maintained.

Nice well located hotel
Nice old style hotel in a good location. The staff was helpful and the room pretty good for the price. Although the "city view" was just some alley.

Great Weekend Trip
The location on the south end of the park was fantastic. We had a room overlooking the park which was even better. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room itself was large for NYC and was clean.
