The Park Lane Hotel in NY is located on Central Park South in Midtown. Its a good location, especially if you have business in midtown as I did. Thats about the end of my positive commentary. Although you can get glimpses of the hotel's past grandeur, it is in dire need of a major face lift. The rooms, although functional, are not well configured for business travel (i.e. the high speed connection was on the other side of the room from the desk). The gym is small and not well equipped (2 treadmills and some weight machines) and the facility just has a tired look. Despite the fact that I got a pretty good rate, I will find another place to stay when I come back to New York.
