Stay here, I did and loved it!

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......
