I saw a mouse in my room on two different nights. The staff was very nice and helpful about it and gave a discount for the unpleasant sightings. The hotel was fully booked, so I could not switch rooms and spent two uncomfortable, sleepless nights there. The location of the hotel is great...close to the park and the subway. And... more

This was my second stay at Park 79. The first one was lovely and I would have rated that above average. I often go into NYC both for business and pleasure; I am always on the lookout for a bargain and thought I'd found a gem here. Not true for my second stay. The room was small and smelled moldy.... more

Booked this trip around 6 months back, after doing plenty of research around the web. I wanted somewhere that wasn't far from the action, but quiet enough to get a decent night's sleep, as well as good value for money. Park 79 did not dissapoint, it's location was excellent, and very close by to two local subway lines. On the... more

Spent 3 nights here and would definitely return!!! Beforehand, I spent hours searching for and comparing budget hotels in New York City. I wanted the Manhattan experience rather than getting a cheaper deal outside of the city, like in New Jersey. Park 79 Hotel near Central Park seemed the nicest in it's price category, and I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! It... more

I booked a suite in this place for my group of 5, yes 5! We got an extra bed at no additional cost and although we could barely move around in the living area when the sofa bed and extra bed were fully deployed, I still really loved the place! Although we had an ensuite bathroom, many of us used... more

We found the Park 79 hotel to be a great bargain. Excellent location - close to the Museum of Natural History, Central Park and to subway stations. It's situated in a beautiful neighborhood. We felt very safe walking around at night. We had a room with a shared bathroom. While we only spent one night, we never saw another soul... more

We found the hotel perfectly adequate.I often wonder when I read the reviews if I have stayed at the same place.Our room was clean no livestock whatsoever.The towels were replaced daily which in fact is too often in these energy saving times.The air con was a bit noisy but welcome in the heat and humidity.The lift was not speedy but... more

There are not a lot of choices of hotels on the Upper West Side (near where our daughter lives) and, based on the web site, we thought the Park 79 might be a nice, basic hotel. We expected a small room with few amenities, but we also expected it to be clean room with (judging from the photos) a modest... more

I have lived in NYC and now visit often. I've tried several budget hotels & B&Bs. This is, by far, the best I've stayed in. First, the location is perfect -- on a residential street and there is ZERO traffic noise (rare for budget NYC). One half block from the Natural History Museum and the adjacent park, 1.5 blocks to... more
