The Central Park North

Like its sibling The Park Ave North, The Central Park North represents great value for money—this time in the area directly above Central Park. Located just one block from the park, and within minutes of five subway lines, the inn is a newly renovated 19th century building with high ceilings and bright, airy decor. Each of its 12 rooms features TV, WiFI, A/C, fridge and microwave, and some have a kitchenette too. Be warned, however: none of the rooms has its own private bath/shower, and this is reflected in the price.
