The Park79 is a solid low-cost hotel option in an otherwise pricey city. I appreciated its proximity to Central Park and good public transport, making it easy to explore. The rooms are small but comfortable, although the building shows its age. The service I received was generally helpful, but the lack of amenities like a restaurant was a downside.

The rooms were small yet comfortable, with thick towels and decent amenities like new air conditioners and TVs. However, the overall decor felt dated and in need of touch-ups.

I stayed at Hotel Park 79, which is perfectly located just a minute's walk from Central Park and the American Museum of Natural History. The area is bustling with nearby restaurants and bars, making it convenient for meals. However, the service was a bit of a letdown, as some staff members were not very engaging. The room was small and lacked windows, but for the price and location, it was manageable.

The room was small and did not have a window, but the bed was comfortable enough. It was as described, so I wasn't completely surprised.

The hotel is in a fantastic location, just two blocks from the subway and very close to Central Park, which I loved. It's in a nice Upper West Side neighborhood that's quieter than Midtown.

I didn't dine at the hotel, but there are plenty of restaurant options nearby that were great for breakfast and lunch.

I stayed for two nights and found the hotel to be a good option for short stays. The room was pleasant but on the smaller side, and I appreciated the comfortable mattress. However, the bathroom could use better furnishings and the staff's inconsistency was a slight downside. The location was excellent, close to transport and dining options.

Rooms

The room was decent and comfortable for the time spent there, but a little cramped for two people. The shared bathroom was also quite large but under-equipped.

Basic facilities are provided, but there's room for improvement—especially in the bathroom area which felt lacking in essentials.

Park 79 offers a budget stay in a fabulous location, just steps away from Central Park and great dining options. While the rooms are of decent size for New York City standards, the uncomfortable bed and tiny bathroom left much to be desired. The staff was polite, but the customer service could have been more attentive. Overall, if location is your top priority, this hotel could work for a short stay, but comfort will likely take a hit.

Rooms

The standard room was an acceptable size, but the bathroom was incredibly tiny and the bed was one of the most uncomfortable I've ever slept in. Definitely needs improvement.
