Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests appreciated the great location of the hotel, with many highlighting its proximity to central attractions and good subway access. However, there were significant complaints regarding the service, with several guests mentioning unprofessional management and unexpected fees. Cleanliness was also a recurring issue, with reports of brown water and poorly maintained bathrooms. Overall, while the location was a standout feature, the service and cleanliness left much to be desired.

Fantastic staff and doormen. The room was very run down but also very clean- and I care much more about the latter. PERFECT location for a family traveling. Near the park, transit, and lots of amazing restaurants.

I will never go there again ! Noisy, VERY NOISY ! Bring very goor ear plugs if you want to TRY to sleep in the night! With the aircon ON is like having an airplane engine in the room. Turning off the aircon , the fan continue to make noise. Then if you unplug the aircon (as I did) you will surprisingly continue to ear the 'airplane like noise' ! In fact the windows are is so bad condition that you...

Excellent location and housekeeping. AC worked but didn’t get cold enough to be comfortable. Nice rooftop area with one-lane covered pool. Room was in need of updates and view was of another rooftop and building—no visible sky etc. Restaurant inside hotel is closed. Very friendly staff. Biggest plus for me was the location—right across from Lincoln Center.

Pros (+) Location! Nice room and comfortable bed.
Cons (-) The A/C unit was unbearably loud. No street noise just the A/C. Had to sleep with ear plugs. No way to turn it lower or off w/o unplugging. It’s my only complaint.

Pros (+) The hotel was fine. Bed was comfortable. Close to two subway stations. Lobby is beautiful and so is the rooftop bar although it is the most expensive bar I have ever been to.
Cons (-) We paid beforehand, and while checking in they said: "it looks like you're all paid for, so we just need a card for incidents." When we checked out they said, "It will just be $20 for a resident fee"... Hmm... wasn't that what the $160 nightly fee was for? Where has transparency gone? What in god's name is a resident fee? Sounds like something they just make up to get more money out of you which i...

Pros (+) The location was great and the staff was very friendly.
Cons (-) The paint on the bathroom door was peeling. The AC was not working and was a huge wet puddle. Plus they charged us extra $30/night for a room with 2 beds even know I booked a 1-2 bed room on Kayak.

Pros (+) Location is ideal. That’s about it.
Cons (-) This is my second stay at the empire. I decided to come back because of the location and to give them a second chance, but I won’t be staying there again unless they train their employees to be hoapitable and clean up their rooms. One super annoying issue is they don’t have ice machines on each floor. You have to have housekeeping deliver it. The first time I stayed there, in March 2018, I called ...
