“Very enjoyable stay”
We really enjoyed our stay at Central Park North. The staff were lovely and seemed happy to help even though we didn’t need anything extra. We had no problems with shared bathrooms; there were two nice shower rooms on our floor and with only 4 rooms on the floor we never ran out of access, plus there are more on other floors. Each room had shampoo, body wash, hand soap, paper towel, bath towels and washcloths. The smallest room had basic furnishings, but it still included a fridge, microwave, coffee maker and supplies, plates, mugs and cutlery, as well as free wifi and satellite TV. This is a guest‑house style place, not a full‑service hotel, so there’s no room service, but there is a daily pick‑up, fresh towels and coffee supplies when you need them, and the bathrooms are thoroughly cleaned every day. You have an access code for the main door and a key to your room. It’s a bit away from the heavily touristy areas, so it feels more like a neighborhood; there’s a grocery store and a couple of good take‑out places half a block away, and the subway station is right there too. It’s a really cool old building with a very easy‑going atmosphere, definitely good value for the independent traveler. The only thing to note, which I knew beforehand, is that it’s a steep walk‑up with four interior floors and no elevator. It’s a small historic building that won’t be accessible to non‑ambulatory wheelchair users or people with mobility/climbing limitations. I walk with dual canes and was able to make the trip up and down a few times a day, although it got tough by the end of Day 4; Ella Fitzgerald’s encouragement from the top of the stairs got me through! For me it was worth it for the experience, but unless you’re very determined or stubborn (like me) you might want to look for somewhere a little less challenging.
