Park terrace hotel was phenomenal! From the amenities and little extras as well as the responsive service, and price point-- I could not be more pleased. The hotel is located in a prime location, on the outskirts of Bryant park, with the Empire State Building nearby and Times Square just steps away. The closest subway station has BDF trains but is just a block away from Times Square where you can find any line!
My stay was Friday- Monday and the 3pm check in and 12pm check out was amazing, allowing extra time compared to most hotels. They also accommodated complimentary 1pm last check out. My room was ready upon arrival, about 30mins prior to check in time. The front desk was friendly and encouraged me to let them know how I liked my room. I booked a premier room and got a great deal as this room offers more space and I was hoping great view. Not so much to my surprise as I've seen similar reviews, all of the beautiful 5 windows had view of brick wall which was also office space so literally can see right in. This also made for the room being darker most of the day. I returned to the front desk to see if they had any other rooms with a view and she denied, offered to move my room but I didn't see the point if it'd be the same. Ultimately, they offered a complimentary bottle of wine which was nice. Front desk said the premier rooms are located in the back and in the corners so there must be several rooms that have this view but when I booked it said "city view".. well there's nothing to view so I'm not sure which rooms have views of the park. However, if you head out to the terrace, you'll find the best views. I have to say that for the location, the room was so quiet which was appreciated.
The room came equipped with snacks for purchase, an espresso machine, iron, yoga mat, hair dryer, a Bose speaker, and a complimentary umbrella which was clutch for the rainy weekend! They also left kettle corn and sparkling lemonade as a welcome token. The water stations on each floor with refillable bottles were also a great touch although the one on the 7th floor, the cold and warm buttons were switched and the cold option wasn't that cold as I checked another floor when looking for ice machine which was located two floors up. Oh and the two elevators can be quite slow as well but nothing that crazy. Park terrace also had guest services line you can text which was very helpful and they were very responsive. The bed and pillows were so comfortable and the TV had multiple channels and option to screen view from your phone-- a perfect way to end your day!
Also-- I'd highly suggest room service from La Pecora Bianca... The rigatoni with burrata was absolutely amazing! Checking out branch, the terrace is also a must! Great place for a drink! I enjoyed breakfast and a night cap on the terrace.. the breakfast options weren't that impressive and service was slow but it's definitely an amazing option with stunning views of the park. Overall, if you're looking for a luxury experience at an affordable price point-- park terrace is an amazing option and I'd highly recommend, looking forward to returning for a stay in the future!
