I had stayed here numerous times a few years back and was completely disappointed by the lack of upkeep tp the rooms. Everything was warped and falling apart.....also My first night I had to get separate rooms to from my children (16,18) and they would not accommodate putting us on the same floor, I feel they could have done something to ease my anxiety with that I was on the 8th and my children the 2nd......

There for two nights for the Christmas lights. Heat was on constantly and AC didn’t work at all to cool the room down. Staff was great. Free waters at the front desk. Bed was a little stiff but my wife had no complaints about it. Big NYC room, but I can’t overlook the AC/ heating issue.

Avoid this place at all cost. We got a room with a broken AC, they could not move us that night because the hotel was full. We got move on our final night. The room they moved us to, the ac again had issues. Luckily they were able to fix it. We asked for additional towels as they only had two in the room and it was four of us. My wife , me and our two children. When they gave us the keys to the new room I asked for two additional towels. 30 minutes later no towels have been brought. I call the front desk several times no answer. I went back to the front desk and asked for the towels again. I was told I would get them in 15 minutes at most. Again 30 minutes later, no towels. I tried calling again, no answer. Went down again, was told that the manager herself would bring them up. 30 minutes later, no towels . I called front desk and got a person that I could not understand a word he was saying, bad phone connection. After waiting again for 20 minutes I went back to the front desk only to be told that they had no more towels to give out. I was told by the front desk that they would take it from a room that wasn’t being used. Another issue is the shower drain is clogged, so really nice to stand on dirty water. Complete BS. Hotel is full so they just lied got get me out of their face. This place is run by morons. Stay away.

My husband and I traveled to NYC for my birthday around the holidays. We had the most magical time! We really enjoyed the Empire hotel. Nice front desk staff and they held our luggage for us before we could check in. I’d say the cons would be the restaurant above them is mid at best and the room was a bit outdated and small with no fridge or microwave. Overall, we loved staying at the Chuck Bass hotel ;).
