Pay too much for too little!
By ,
Cons: AC not adequate to cool entire room, no microwave, minibar (but no room to put personal items in fridge), small room and bathroom. Places a double hold on your card and when asked for clarification responds with "it should be back w/in 7 days." Pros: Good location, but thats about it. I would rather be a couple of blocks away from the beach w/better amenities. Helpful staff (unless you are on the phone asking for assistance). Must leave hotel for breakfast.

Great stay at The Park Central
By ,
My wife and I stayed at the Park Central for a short two night anniversary trip. The staff was great. They were very helpful and kind. You really get a nostalgic feeling staying here. The rooms are not real big but they are typical of the art deco era so the atmosphere is great. We enjoyed the proximity of the hotel to the beach and to nearby restaurants and shops. We could get to most of the places we wanted to go to by walking. One suggestion - Self park at the parking garage around the corner on seventh street between Collins and Washington. It is less than two blocks from the hotel, it is cheaper than valet, and it is much quicker than waiting for the valet company to bring your car.

Wonderful Time
By ,
My wife and I stayed for a week. Loved the place. The 40's atmosphere was perfect. Staff was alway friendly and attentive, especially Robert and Jackie. Amenities such as fruit in the morning and free beach chairs were a terrific plus. Also, the location allowed you to take advantage of the nightlife if you wanted but the hotel was far enough away from all the noise so, if you needed an early night or just wanted to relax, you could go to your room and enjoy the quiet. Rooftop was great but probably should have some kind of partial roof system over entrance. It rained one day and I would have loved to go up on the roof, sit under a covering and read a book. However, all things considered the Park Central rates 5 stars plus in my book and we are already talking about getting back there. For the price it can't be beat.

Stay here, I did and loved it!
By ,
After reading many reviews of hotels in South Beach, how some of the art deco hotels are in need of repair, lack quality service, have thin walls, i can actually say that my stay at the Park Central Hotel was absolutely wonderful.....the staff was exceptional from the time I arrived until the time I checked out. The desk staff were all professional yet personal. The housekeeping staff gave us plenty of privacy. There were many unexpected "extras" like the lounge chairs on the beach at no cost, fresh fruit in the afternoon in the lobby, extremely comfortable beds, not one detail at the hotel I disliked. Yes, it has an older elevator, but that is the charm of the hotel. Our room had a partial beach view and overlooked the pool. there is a very nice rooftop deck for sunbathing during the day or romance at night. The hotel is convenient to Mango's and the Clevelander, although a long walk to Lincoln Avenue. The best part is you go out the front door and across the stree and you are on the beach......

Loved it!

Our stay at the Park Central was a great experience! It's in the PERFECT location. Across the street from the beach and you get free beach towels and chairs. The hotel atmosphere is amazing and close to every place you want to be in South Beach. The staff was so helpful and we can't wait to go back again!

Not for work travel!
By ,
During the week the service is slow, breakfast not available until after 7:45 and the rooms are soooooo tiny! Great if you are in town for clubing or the beach but not for the a meeting!

A good place
By ,
Overall the Park central is a good place to stay. Staff very efficient and friendly. Good amenities. Close to the beach and boutique shopping, restuarants etc. Only drawback was mildew ..needs a bit of treatment in room and the air vent in bathroom needed a good steam clean.

Right in the heart of south beach action
By ,
this was a great hotel in terms of location, services and facilities. it is an older hotel and the rooms may be small for some, but the roof deck, the pool and the location plus the great dining at Quinns all make this a place we will go back to.

First Trip to South Beach
By ,
Was very confused on where to stay in South beach but have now found my spot! The hotel and room were extremely clean! The staff was very pleasant and welcoming. Entering the room, nature sounds of crashing waves were playing on the cd player, we had an ocean view, the beds were SO comfortable for the few hours we did sleep. The lobby was quiet compared to those of other hotels we visted with bars on the first floor. The hotel is directly across the street from the beach, where you get 2 lounge chairs/day (umbrellas are $10) for being a hotel guest. Shopping and food are all in walking distance. I HIGHLY recommed this hotel to anyone! Jennifer Stayed Aug. 11-15 2005

Serene

I like Park Central's quietness in the midst of Ocean Drive's summer tourist crowds and party goers. It's never let me down. I've enjoyed every single one of my visits.
