Great for the price. Good location next to the park. Had what I needed in the room. Some people said the room is outdated but you get what you pay for. I was satisfied.
We found the central park motor lodge easy to find, quiet and friendly. Good shower, everything you need for a quick overnight stay. Bed was abot bouncy, the room was nice and clean and quiet.
This Hotel ticks lots of boxes, ideal location, walking distance to lots of attractions and shopping, comfortable spacious rooms, parking I loved it!

I'll start by saying the location was quite good. I walked in the room and while it seemed fine for a cheap 1 bedroom with 3 beds (2 twins in the main area) I noticed an unpleasant smell. I couldntquite tell where it was cominv from as everything appeared clean. I then sat down in 1 of the 2 tub chars (that were covered with cgair covers) to find that was the source of the smell. I tried to beutralhze the snell with essential oils and candles to no avail. Looted like the bathroom was recently renovated though..... it was the nicest oart of the room. 2 of the 3 nights we stayed the room lost lughts and hot water.
Service was friendly.
Price was good.
Outside of motel needed a real clean up.
Our upstairs room was quiet.
Room needed a real tidy up and was not particularly clean.
The grounds were in need of a good tidy up.
There were cigarette butts on the walkway outside our room that didnt get cleaned up in our 4 night stay.
I chose the motel for the location. I was at a conference for two days. The shower pressure was out of this world. The bed was a little too soft for my liking but for convienience and price it ticked all the boxes

Disliked: Cleanliness
No. Filthy. Needed a good clean.couch was too low for old people and sagged in the middle. Manager was very helpful and fixed the tv when we asked him.
Was refused a refund after unfortunate events of not being able to stay

I didn’t like the fact there was no where to park my car when I returned with dogs from airport
Smaller cars were taking up larger parking spaces and as a result I had to park on street at the back of motel
