Good location. Good value for money. Little bit rusty and out of date. The bed was too soft and the cushions on the bed was bit smells. Overall cleanness was good. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Location and price were great. Shower was AMAZING! Had decent pressure.
The room was cold especially at night and the small wall heater didn't really do anything so had to wear an extra layer under pjs and socks on.
The lounge had no spare sockets to use as they were being used for appliances etc so couldn't charge phone next to bed.
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 Some people said the room is outdated but you get what you pay for.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.

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.
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
