Hotels near Central Park Fun Land

"There was a guy hanging out in the front of the building that did not have money for a room. Kind of scary."

"The Orbitz listing incorrectly states no parking at hotel. I almost skipped it for that sole reason, but price was too good, pet fee too reasonable, and area not listed unsafe, so had to investigate further. So many other reasonably priced options had terrible reviews and/or specific comments about bad atea and seedy characters all hours. Glad I called to ask if there were paid parking lots nearby and why they had no parking because the manager was so amazing to talk to and accommodating. He set the record straight that Orbitz listing was wrong and they had huge parking lot with most spaces of all hotels in area, and he wasn’t lying! Excellent parking onsite for free! We also explained our late arrival and traveling with pet, and asked if there was a weight limit or other restrictions. He was so nice to tell us they love pets there and no weight limits or specific restrictions. Graciously waived pet fee when we explained we were coming there to adopt another rescue dog and meeting the transporter late in the afternoon, so we would likely need to book a second night that we would be able to keep the room late into the afternoon without affecting their ability to clean and resell that day, but would need to check out early evening to go home because my husband had work the next morning. He gave us his name, told night shift and our pet fee was comped. Clean room. Safe area. Daytime walked with dog to shop/restaurants area. Long walk but we are energetic. Sidewalks made it easy"
