The Lucerne is in a great location in a safe, convenient, legendary neighborhood. Abundant restaurants and hangouts nearby in any direction for a true New York experience, quite removed from high density tourist hotels. Easy subway access to other areas of the city or airports. The Lucerne is where locals refer friends and family to stay. Not cheap, but a fair value in New York, and far less than other similar venues. If you pay less, you will get less. The Lucerne is quiet, clean, safe, and well maintained. The Lucerne staff are friendly and well trained. Pay the extra for a daily breakfast at Petit Matin which is located in the same building as the Lucerne, and has an entry door next to the elevators. It’s also a great place for dinners, and is a local favorite. Tough to find a better value in a better location than the Lucerne.

No fans in the rooms and air conditioning would shut off after an hour so we’d wake up extremely hot in the middle of the night. Our TV also kept on turning on and off by itself like it was possessed ao we had to unplug it. That being said, the convenient location around lots of restaurants and by the subway made all the inconveniences worth it.

I loved my stay overall. What I did not like at all is that there are five or six large deep steps to get into the hotel and no railing on either side to hold onto. I'm very surprised they allowed this.

This was a favorite of my wife and I, but seems to have gone downhill. We stayed 5 nights and had reservations for another 3 nights a month later (which we cancelled). When we arrived the staff was welcoming - until we got to our room which reeked of smoke, our something! We spoke to the front desk and went to dinner (Nice Matin is a lovely restaurant of the lobby)! After dinner the person at the desk said they had no other rooms and that they had dealt with the odor - which he characterized as “sometimes happens, it’s an old hotel”! They had turned the AC up, and the odor was better but not gone. It never fully dissipated the whole 5 nights. Didn’t appreciate being gaslighted by the staff. Our second stay was at a different hotel down the street - nicer and cheaper! So disappointing!
