Recent Ritz Carlton Central Park Review: "The hotel was great in all aspects but it did leave me expecting more. With the price I paid I just thought there'd be more. Things not included in the near $1000 total of reservation were parking ($55), breakfast ($30+), or any meal for that matter. I wanted to take my wife out to NYC for a night before our return to Afghanistan and she loved it all, but I think for me as a guy, I was pretty disappointed. I know I could've stayed somewhere else for less and gotten free parking and a complimentary breakfast. I also requested the "City View" they had and they gave me a room with a great view of the building next to us and nothing more. Overall I would say I just expected more."
