Everyone was so helpful opening doors and greeting us. Very courteous staff. We were able to get rooms next to each other which we really appreciated!!! My friend's shower did not work properly but people were sent right away to work on it. We really enjoyed the upper floor for an evening drink. The only thing I wish we had was a coffee maker in the room, since I didn't really use the refrigerator. The complementary water bottles were very nice. We would definitely come back and have already told friends how great a place it is to stay. I hated to leave.

We have been staying at the Empire regularly for the last two years. We’d like the hotels, location, and generally speaking it suits our needs. However, this time the room was not great. It was extremely cold. It also did not have any exterior view, and there was a somewhat annoying sound coming from a machine outside in the courtyard. As people who stay there regularly, we think there should be someway that we could get priority for the best possible rooms. That might be something you could look into. Thank you.

My room was 77 degrees and the air conditioning was not working. Two technicians came to try and fix it, and it got worse instead of better. I was told there were no other rooms available, but at 11pm, I was finally offered another room. The air conditioning was not very effective there either, but the room temperature was better.

The hotel isn’t cheap, but it offers a great location—convenient and within walking distance of Central Park and some excellent dining options. However, the room itself was disappointing. It was small, outdated, and lacked privacy, as the windows faced other rooms, making it uncomfortable to open the curtains. The cleanliness was below expectations, and the hotel clearly needs some upgrades. Adding to the letdown, I was staying there on my birthday, and the staff didn’t acknowledge it or make any effort to celebrate the occasion, which left me feeling underwhelmed.
