Park Savoy Hotel

This is a men's shelter now, which is great as they assist men in employment and provide transitional housing. However, in the 90's it was a spotty motel-like hotel with many characters. Knew someone staying there temporarily and spent a few different nights there. Close to Central Park.

This place is dated and not maintained properly. You can find better places at same price. For starters all the rooms are tiny, beds are hard as a rock. And in many rooms the old heater does not work at all and if it does it's not very warm. There is a cold draft from outside because of the window AC unit also it is very noisy from the thin walls. The refrigerators in the rooms do not work, the TV channels barely come in at all, and the toilet does not flush. The maintenance issues never end! I have stayed in many hotels in New York City and have never dealt with so many problems. The people there are rude and not willing to help.

Location is great. About a block from Central Park and the theater/comedy club area. It's a great stay for the price if you're okay with a no frills, no special perks kind of hotel. The room and bedding appeared clean enough as well as the restroom. The room featured a window unit AC that you can actually adjust. View was the side of another building. Hotel front desk staff aren't particularly friendly or helpful. We asked if there was any ice available and they suggested we try asking the bar next door. We received better hospitality from the corner deli. If you're looking for a bargain hotel in manhattan that's in a good location, it's not a bad choice, just don't expect any above and beyond service.

The location and price are the best things about this hotel. The concierge was very helpful and made out stay much better, also. The hotel is dated, but I appreciated it's uniqueness and history. You can get a better looking room with the same amenities in the same location for hundreds of dollars more a night. The subway stations are very close and the park is right around the corner. Going to lower Manhattan takes less than 30 minutes. The room was also larger than expected. Having stayed in more fancy hotels in the city, this room was the largest of any of the others. And it was cheaper. The concierge also changed our assigned room so that we wouldn't be disturbed by the street noise, although I don't think it was very loud at all. The maids are also very sweet and took good care of us.

The staff is cool, friendly, and the hotel is in a good location, but the hotel itself is extremely run down and the rooms lack any amenities whatsoever. Been to a Motel 6 before? Motel 6 is a 5 star hotel compared to the Park Savoy. My room featured a burnt out light bulb, a refrigerator that was broken and the world's hardest mattress. On a positive note, this place is cheaper than any of the surrounding hotels, in a great location and no one has been murdered there that I am aware of.
