Staff was extremely helpful and kind. Location perfect. ( I was running the half marathon)

Leslie, United States of America

Fantastic location, great view from our window! We booked the Empire hotel because we had tickets to the Met, and this is directly across the street from the Metropolitan Opera, NY Ballet and Lincoln Center. The rooms were quiet, clean, excellent price for the location. Surprisingly the prices for the rooftop cafe and bar were very reasonable, considering the gorgeous view. The hotel is very close to landmarks, wonderful restaurants, and shopping.

George, United States of America

Room was spacious. But I realize after I left that I was not given a rolmwirh a bathtub even though my booking was for one with a bathtub.

Philip, United States of America

Roof bar has terrific view. A great place to stay near Lincoln Center and upper West side

Lynne, United States of America

The hotel on general was an awesome choice. I was really happy about stuff, the hotel room as well as service requests!

Antonia, Germany

We had a great stay. The room was spacious for us and our two young children. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. We are former New Yorkers so we knew the location well and it was just what we wanted. The hotel provided a crib for one of our kids. Bedding for the pull out sofa for our older one.

Tracy, United States of America

The staff was very nice. Luis upgraded are room for free. The room was large with windows on 3 sides. I liked the C. O. Bigelow bath products.

Barb, United States of America

I loved the proximity to Lincoln Center...so convenient, and I loved the rooftop bar with a view! Nice view from the room too!

Kj, United States of America

Location couldn’t be better for us visiting family at Fordham. Easy access to subway. Lots of restaurants and amenities close by. Starbucks and Duane Reade next door.

Jk, United States of America

The location is amazing! Rooftop bar/view incredible. Very comfy beds. Pro tips: you DO have hot water. Turn the dial all the way as far as it will go and turn on the smaller dial which will give you the overhead shower. Then adjust. Avoid eating at the rooftop bar, it wasn’t the worst but there is much better nearby, stick to drinks and enjoy the view.
