La Quinta by Wyndham New York City Central Park

this hotel was fantastic! i’m not sure why there are so many negative reviews, but i’m glad we took a chance on it. there’s no arguing that the rooms are a little tiny but it’s new york city, there’s really not much to do about it. the staff were exceptional and the check-in/check-out process was extremely smooth. free breakfast from 7-10am which is lovely, and there’s a decent variety of cereals, bagels, waffles, yogurts, etc. the hotel is literally a 5 minute walk from central park and there is a subway station just a few blocks away! we couldn’t have asked for a better stay on the upper west side, and certainly not at this price point! i hope you don’t let the negative reviews scare you into checking out a different place! give la quinta a chance :)

Great place to stay. Very convenient location, subway stop just next street. Nice and helpful staff. The best thing was cleanliness, they did room service without asking. Breakfast was nice, can be improved with some variations in cooked menu.They also stored the luggage for us without any extra charge.

Location

The location is great!, everything was clean, quiet, good breakfast.

The rooms, although as small as one should expect for Manhattan Upper West Side, are updated, clean, and functional. (The door to the bathroom had a broken latch. Reported and checked out after one night, so no issue.) Also as expected the stashing of bags before/after check in is available and no problem. (The bags are kept in the lobby, which seems to be staffed around the clock, so that's the level of security - versus a locked storeroom). Breakfast was typical - mostly cereals and breads with some fruit, milk, juice and coffee. Nothing to be excited about.
