I would recommend this hotel to anybody interested in visiting Manhattan and focused on staying in the vicinity of Central Park. Location and value were the two most important facets that drew us to select Park Lane for our stay. It is literally next door to much more expensive hotels like The Plaza, Ritz-Carlton, and Essex House. The hotel has entrances off of both 58th and 59th Street which comes in handy (e.g., you can use 59th St. entrance for access to Central Park and 59th & 5th Ave subway station; and you can use 58th St. entrance to get to 57th & 6th Ave. subway station, Quality Meats, Quality Italian, etc.). The hotel staff was friendly & courteous. They accommodated our early arrival and late departure and provided the level of service that one would expect of a hotel of this caliber. Our room was on the 28th floor facing south and was very quiet. There were no problems with sounds of the city or neighboring rooms. The room was well-appointed with nice but not opulent touches. Beds are low-slung (no box spring). We usually prefer box springs and a higher mattress, but these beds were still comfortable. The room did have a mini-fridge, but it was the smallest mini-fridge I have ever encountered with a capacity to fit maybe six 16-oz bottles of soda, water, etc. Still, it's nice to have since hotel provided water bottles are $5. You can get your own water at Duane Reade nearby for less than $2. We had two small complaints that we shared with Management: 1) our room's A/C unit was not very effective ... even with outdoor temps of upper-50s at night and lower-70s during daytime, it struggled to get to 73 degrees. The room felt humid & damp throughout our stay and the A/C unit ran non-stop (and was a bit noisy). Our kids slept fine but my wife and I both struggled to get a solid night's sleep due to the A/C noise, humidity, and room temperature. 2) the bathtub/shower fixtures are extremely low-pressure and have a convoluted valve system ... we never truly felt clean even after a shower. Management did offer to move us to another room; but we were not annoyed enough to want to re-pack and move. Our visit entailed a pretty active agenda all across the city, so we did not dine much at the 3 restaurants in the hotel. We did grab breakfast at Rose Lane a few mornings. They offer some quick & simple basics (cereal, pastries, yogurt, etc.). Service was prompt & friendly. We wanted to try Darling at the top of the hotel; but we opted not to based on patrons we saw in the hotel lobby and elevators who were going there ... it gave off more of a nightclub vibe than family-friendly restaurant. I'd recommend this hotel for anybody who wants to stay near Central Park but who doesn't want to spend ~$1,000/night. You may have to live with a non-perfect room (our issues may be the anomaly though), but you don't stay in a location like this to spend all of your time in your room ... you spend your time exploring the city, Central Par
