This property felt dated and underwhelming, but the room was clean. The pool was only open from 11-7 making it unusable for us (I imagine most NYC visitors would be out of the room like us during those hours but would love a swim before starting the day or at the end of the day). The bathroom is tiny with no room to put your toiletries except on the back of the toilet. Also, no stores open near the hotel after 10. We were hoping to get a bottle of wine and the hotel staff had no idea where we could procure one...this seemed odd for a NYC experience! Apparently this city does sleep.

The hotel nails the basic things we need -- firm and comfy bed, A/C, and wifi. 2 of 4 elevators were out of service the day we left, though, which made for chaos as people tried to leave the bldg. Location by Lincoln Center is prime -- safe, convenient, many dining options. Staff were helpful, and free bottled water is a nice touch. The rooms are fine -- the bathrooms could use towel hooks in more intuitive places. Good value. We were originally to pay $750 on Expedia and re-checked later and were able to get $640.

Clean and functional room. Still a little annoyed about not being able to get a full view through our window due to the shade being immovable. No coffee or way to make it in the room was a bit disappointing. Pool was super small but clean and warm. Overall, a fine stay in the heart of The Big Apple!

When I booked I was promised a view with the park, when I arrived the people at the desk said the room I was promised was changed and not available and there was nothing they could do. Ariel and Pria were on duty the next day, they quickly made the arrangement to get me the room that I was promised. They provided exemplary customer service. I booked my week long stay at the Empire to celebrate my grand daughter’s birthday, it was an excellent stay and thank you to Ariel and Pria. Their service was a very big part of what made my stay at the Empire so enjoyable. I definitely will be back. Thank you.

Great service from staff. The hallways are extremely dark and felt a little unsafe as a single traveller! Rooms were adequate except the bathroom had a moldy smell (probably because there was no exhaust fan) with excessive water damage on the door. There is no direct access to the pool as a hotel guest - you need to climb several stairs from the top floor. The pool is extremely small in both length and width. If you're looking for a hotel with a pool this is not the place to stay! Several cafes closeby and walkable distance to shopping and other venues.

The staff was not very pleasant and it felt like they were looking down at my family. We did walk in while it was a terrible rain storm out and we were soaking wet with our luggage they literally were asking us for IDs and the keys to our room right when we walked in from outside… No hello no welcome no nothing! The beds are ridiculously small and not very comfortable they had a sheet on top of a comforter it was very strange! The pictures online looks so much nicer than what it actually is! I was not very happy with my stay at the Empire Hotel at all!
