Park Central Hotel is located just across the street from the Fort Worth Convention Center where I attended a conference so the location for attending the conference seemed to be a good idea. The hotel is basically a Motel 6 and the doors to the rooms are located on the outside. I was on the 5th floor and stayed during a cold snap with high winds and in the 40's. The rooms on the 5th floor were hot, 85plus degrees and the system was such that no one could turn down the heat so everyone on the 5th floor slept with the doors opened in order to survive. It was that hot! Terrible. The rooms were adequate but the pillows were at most 1 inch thick and sleeping was tortured. The morning breakfast was zero except for a mean grumpy woman at the front desk and some coffee. The staff overall were uncaring and seemed trapped in a job they hated so we took the brunt of their problems. Mambo's, the restaurant is closed. The conference hotels were Embassy, Hilton, Radisson, Hyatt and all had superb accomodations for $85-$140 per night with full breakfast and professional staff but were 2-3 blocks away from the convention center. The Park Central charged, get this, $100 per night and provided Motel 6 staff and accomodations. And the better hotels were right next to the restaurants. So being across from the convention center was not really a benefit when we factor in the terrible staff and awful accomodations and high price for a Motel 6 room at the Park Central. Would not stay there again under any circumstances. Stay away!
