We made a reservation ( way ahead of time), for a double room and what we got was a very small single room with a double bed, so small in fact, that the bed was against the wall, making it impossible to get out of bed without climbing over the other person. No closet in the room for hanging clothes,... More

I will start with the key takeaway of my experience at the Park 79: We had dozens of ants in our room (on the bed, in the bed, on the furniture, crawling on our bags...) and were treated with absolute disrespect and a lack of quality customer service. I strongly recommend that you do not book a room at the... More

Park 79 hotel is basic but clean. There are no food facilities available, although there are plenty of great restaurants nearby in Amsterdam Ave. Rooms do not have any coffee or tea making facilities and are fairly small. My room had no natural light, as the blackout blind could not be fixed up. En-suite bathroom was compact, but had toilet,... More

My husband and young daughter and I stayed there for a weekend so we could attend a family wedding. We were in a suite on the third floor and had a great time. It's close to the Natural History Museum, plenty of good restaurants and a subway stop. The staff was very solicitous. We would definitely stay there again while... More

We stayed at the hotel in April as the first part of our honeymoon, we didn't want to spend a lot of money on a hotel room in New York as the main part of our honeymoon was in Mexico, so this hotel fit the bill. From the outside the hotel is nice and the staff are friendly, however once... More

Stayed at the Park 79 in early April while on Spring Break with my son in NYC. The outside of the hotel looks great. The location is also centrally located. One block from the rear of the Museum of Natural History, which is way overrated, and two blocks from Central Park. Staying at the Upper West Side has a lot... More

I booked this hotel initially because it was next door to the apartment of a friend I was visiting, normally I would be further downtown. I was pleasantly surprised by the neighbourhood. The houses are well cared for and I believe property prices are high there. The hotel itself was fine, I had a junior suite which was good, my... More

Nice hotell, well situated close to Central Park and Museum of Natural History. Beds were hard, though, and I didn't get a thin pillow although I asked for it by the booking, several months in advance. Clean. More

the room was typically small but was no problem as we were out most of the time. got a private bath, but it was VERY small. would have given up a foot of room space for a bit wider bathroom (small shower stall and toilet squeezed in, which was a bit tight for me). But this was a good, clean... More
