After reading the reviews, I thought I'd give it a try for one night before moving to a very swish hotel 'Chambers' on 56th.
Park Central is a dive. I've stayed in 4-5* hotels all my life so maybe it was the shock of how the place smelt badly. The elevators were very slow. I had a kingsize room on the 11th floor and the floors smelt damp. The room was very dark, badly lit and the decor was terrible.
There is the side you pay for what you get but these rooms could do with some home improvement. You don't seriously think that Scharger hotel rooms cost a fortune to do up - they source their rooms from Ikea style shops -so dirt cheap. This place needs a serious face lift... starting off with the landings and the rooms, the lobby is ok. It could have potential of looking smart.
I would not EVER recommend this place. It is in a good location but then so are a lot of places. Belvedere looked better.
The staff seemed pretty miserable too and there was a lot of construction work going on.
