The location was amazing, close to the subway and easy to walk out, grab a coffee and a target nearby.
No coffee facilities in the room, would have been nice to even have somewhere in the lobby for a morning coffee.

I liked the staff and their welcoming attitude. I liked the location being near to where I was working. And the room was cleaned impeccably by the cleaning staff.
The first room I was put in was not remotely acceptable. It was tiny and dark and dingy. The window overlooked the inside well of the building where a heating unit or similar was roaring so loudly I couldn't hear myself think. The curtain on the window couldn't be raised or lowered. And the heating controls to the radiator were broken, so the room was either too hot or too cold. And the safe was broken. When I complained, I was told it was the only room available, so I started to look for another hotel, at which point a charming member of the staff, Soirse, offered me a good room on the top floor of the hotel, where I felt quite comfortable.

The location was great. Right in the middle of everything we wanted to see while visiting. Short walk to the museums and the trains. The restaurants in the hotel were lovely and easily accessible. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Answered all questions asked.
We kept setting the heat to 68° and no matter if we put it on AC or heat it would ramp up to 76° - 78° in the middle of the night. Very unpredictable. The shower was very confusing. We needed staff to come upstairs to help. Able to figure out but it was still touchy.

Friendly staff, nice lobby, convenient location. Bed and bedding were comfortable.
Guest rooms, bathrooms and hallways need updating. There were worn surfaces in the wood, especially in the bathroom. There were no hand towels or bathmats. The faucet was loose. The hvac unit was very noisy.

The (Hispanic?-I don’t wish to mischaracterize him) gentleman on duty at the desk from 11am on the 18th was simply splendid. He went above and beyond and he continued on the next day when I said goodbye. As well, the gentleman who was handling luggage hold from Wednesday afternoon/evening and Thursday am was especially attentive and kind.
There wasn’t anything I didn’t like!

Disappointing
The location was great for the reason we were in town. The cold weather and snow were present experience.
Our rooms(2) were extremely small for me and my traveling guests. The pictures of the rooms on your website, they appeared larger. The accommodations lacked the vibe for its location. No one informed me or my guests that a reservation was required for the rooftop bar. We were turned away even after stating we were guests at the hotel. The parking was not on site as described.

Love the empire! Possibly my favourite hotel experience in New York. Always feels like you’re a part of the buzz of Manhattan without being trapped in time square.
It’s a little outdated but that’s a part of its charm.
