I am not going to lie, I did not read the reviews of Park Central before booking. My boyfriend and I were blown out of the water in how amazing this hotel was!! We must have booked at the perfect time because when we booked, it was less than $100 a night. There was talk of a service fee once I did read the reviews but my boyfriend says it was never taken out of his account. They do hold $100 until the end of your stay because they are not just an Airbnb but also a fully functional HOTEL. The hotel is right by the yellow subway (57 &7) so it’s super convenient!! Walking distance to Time Square, Broadway, Carnegie Hall and Central Park! If you play pokémon go, plenty of poke stops around too!! I would go back to park central if i find myself in nyc again.
