Great Location and Value
Great location right across the street from Lincoln Center. I booked this hotel because of the great price compared to places I normally stay in nearby CPS. Room was very clean but super small - queen bed, no desk chair, small closet. Bare bones on the extras. No coffee pot in the room. No room service. Rooftop restaurant nice but didn't open until 2 pm. Many nice restaurants nearby.

The people were great. The only problem was there was no coffee. There was none in our room or none in the lobby. We thought that was odd. There was a Starbucks next door, but obviously we had to spend additional money.

JUNICHIRO, NEW YORK CITY

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Outdated facilities, a completely ineffective air conditioner, the constant noise of a noisy fan, damp carpets, broken hangers, cockroaches appearing from the drains... you can experience just about every hallmark of a "bad hotel" here. But by far the worst part was the front desk staff. While there are a few decent younger employees, the short, middle-aged man with glasses and a buzz cut was shockingly rude. During my stay, I was subjected to drilling noises from renovation work from 9 to 5, and when I requested a room change, this staff member yelled at me to stop complaining and even used racial slurs. As I walked away in disbelief, he shouted that we don't care about the reviews written by stupid guests, and that I could write whatever I wanted. It's a wonder how someone like him has survived in this industry.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff very dismissive and unaccommodating. Very strict about check in even though rooms ready earlier. Room smelled like mildew from lack of ventilation in bathroom (no fan or way to get moisture out). Staff very rude when we called down to ask to be moved due to smell and unhealthy air. AC/ fan in main living area went out during our stay but was fixed. Peeling paint in bathroom. Slime mold in shower crevices. Random nail in wall from artwork that was probably there. No standard amenities for a 4-star hotel such as coffee in room or optional water for purchase. This is not a 4-star hotel.

You'd think $450 a night would merit shampoo ...
$450 (inc tax) will buy you a ticket across the Atlantic (and leave you change) but apparently it won't get you shampoo in your room at the Empire Hotel. The place has seen better days: there are almost no amenities on site; the a/c is as loud as a jet engine; the view from the room is grimly urban; and all you get for an immense amount of money is a free bottle of water, a tiny bar of soap and a clean bed for the night. That's New York in 2024, of course: but the lack of shampoo felt like salt in the wound. The kindly desk clerk apologized, as if such minor insults were par for the course. Do better, Empire!
