Ordered ice and it took so long I had to leave before it arrived. They clearly give you a smaller room if you book on another site other thank the hotel’s. The rooftop bar is nice but a bit pricey.

convenient but in need of renovation

The Empire Hotel is very convenient to the places we frequent. That being said, it needs a face lift. The halls were so dark during the day-time, that I could not find my room. Every room I have stayed in at the Empire, the door to the bathroom had paint peeling off off the frame. It was nice to get water, but it was in plastic bottles, so not very eco-friendly. I was in hotels not two weeks ago where the water was in a carafe (more environmentally friendly). What's wrong with touting the famous NYC water from the tap? The staff are efficient and I will leave it at that.

I didn't like that the hotel offers "self parking", and when you are going to do the check in they said that the self park cost US 80 and in an external parking the cost is US 52 /day. The same occurs with the breakfast, there is not breakfast in the hotel. It is better to clarify in the hotel information to take in the account when the customers are looking for hotel.

Staff was extremely accommodating to help us with our short stay, especially considering my partner requires a mobility scooter. Very good people, the hotel was clean and well appointed. The price of the room was very affordable considering the view and location we had, although it was very small what can you expect. The walls are very solid so you wont hear your neighbors, unless we didn't have any. Would stay here again.

I’ve been staying at this hotel for almost 40 years. It’s never been fancy, but it used to be comfortable. Not any more!! - Our AC didn’t work and our room was about 83 degrees over our 3 day stay. We had to sleep with open windows and no screens. The air quality was terrible due to a fire in NJ. They refused to switch us to another room. Always an excuse. The AC never was never fixed in the entire three days!!! It was very uncomfortable! We tried to avoid being in the room. Also: No one ever answers the phone at the front desk…ever!! G-d forbid someone has an emergency!! We paid extra for a “deluxe” room, and this was the situation. Little annoyances included: no tv remote, it didn’t work and it took over a day for them to find a compatible one! Also, no hairdryer, no robe or slippers, no laundry bag,no coat hangers in closet, no in room coffee maker. - On the bright side, The maid service was good and the room was clean. - Barring a change in ownership/management, I would not choose this hotel again.
