Great location, but not quite worth the price
Pros:

The hotel’s location is excellent. The room is compact and minimally designed, which is appealing. I was very satisfied with the overall cleanliness, especially the bed and linens. It’s also a nice perk that the hotel covers entrance fees to certain museums.

Cons:

The room offers limited space for two people to move around. The absence of bathroom slippers is a significant drawback. The safe was not functioning properly—the buttons were unresponsive—so we couldn’t use it when needed. The hairdryer needs cleaning, as the airflow is filled with dust.

The listing advertised free Wi-Fi, however it was actually a paid service, which was disappointing.

Our room faced the ventilation shaft at the back, with a constant humming noise. Additionally, the in-room ventilation system was quite loud, making it difficult to sleep while it was running.

Overall, while the stay was satisfactory, the price feels high for what is offered. Other hotels on the same street provide more, such as a working safe, larger rooms, street-facing views, bathroom slippers and free Wi-Fi.

Excellent location and great value, with a few service improvements needed
Pros:

I recently stayed at Le Méridien Central Park and overall found it to be a very good option, especially for the price and location.

The hotel is exceptionally well located, just steps from Central Park and within easy reach of everything. The rooms are small, as expected in New York, but very well designed. They make smart use of the space, and the materials, finishes, and overall condition feel modern and well maintained.

One highlight was the concierge, who was very friendly and helpful. Also, booking through Marriott.com comes with great extras, including destination fee credits, which added real value to the stay.

That said, the reception staff could improve their service attitude. They were not particularly proactive or welcoming, and interactions felt somewhat transactional rather than genuinely hospitable. As an Elite Bonvoy Member I was expecting one of the perks I usually get at Marriott hotels, but I didnt. The staff didnt oven bothered mentioning they could give such perks.

Another downside is that many rooms are connecting rooms, and the soundproofing between them is not ideal. Unfortunately, I could clearly hear my neighbor coughing throughout the night, which made it harder to rest.

On the positive side, the rooftop restaurant is beautiful and offers great views. The cocktails were excellent, and while the menu is small, the food quality is very good. The smashburger was outstanding, honestly much better than the one at Burger Joint next door. Hands down, the best smashburger I’ve had in my life. The french restaurant on the ground floor is also very pretty, though the food there was more average.

Overall, I would stay here again. It offers very good value for money, a fantastic location, and a comfortable stay, with just a few areas that could be improved.

Clutch Location-Central Park 2 blocks away!
Pros:

Highly recommended for its location by Central Park, restaurants and shopping! Staff was kind and helpful service. The first thing I notice in a room is cleanliness in which this gets 5 stars. The Paris Bar is amazing, and for desserts recommend their chocolate mousse. Le Jardin Rooftop was a great location for pics of the city. I travel a lot and would come back and stay here again.
