Location was great! Close to Lincoln Center and Central Park
The wife had trouble getting hot water for showers, I had no real issue except working faucet to right position

The rooftop restaurant and the Mexican restaurant bar. Location to venue
The style is dated and old. The room rug was tattered. My bed squeaked every time I turned. The bathroom was tiny. We had 3 people and had No accommodations for the third person. Bedding was finally brought to the room at 12:30! There were only towels for 2.

Great value for Columbus Square area. Comfortable room, nice bathroom, good towels, comfortable bed. Everything worked and in very good condition. Will definitely stay at the Empire when I need to be in New York in the future.

The front desk staff are so nice, the location is amazing and the beds are comfortable.
The size of the bathroom, the loud staff in the hallway at cleaning time, the lack of a coffee pot in the room.

The bed was large and comfortable. You didn't ask about the shower, but it was a disaster. Couldn't get hot water.
The restaurant was excellent for breakfast. Food and service were really good and not wildly expensive.
Storage for clothing. Hooks lower for towels in bathroom. Hot water in shower.

Location
Upon check-in the awkward loud disgruntled guest next to us. Not having amenities such as body wash for 3 days and house keeping not coming daily . Ac unit breaking and blowing hot air into the room, the cleanliness being less than subpar including mold in both rooms. The ripped stained furniture and walls was also a turn off.

Rooms and hallways are in need of updating. The room had no view and it was old.

Location was excellent. Staff was very friendly. The lobby area and rooftop bar were beautiful. Unfortunately, our room was terribly dated and had signs of wear throughout. The $150 damage fee that was assessed at check-in seemed ridiculous considering the state of the room.

I liked the lobby and hotel rooftop bar
The room is old and in desperate need of revamping. The bathtub dripped the whole time maintenance never checked. We needed new keys everyday

Historic Hotel. The location is fabulous, right next to the Lincoln Square and a few blocks from Broadway, 5th Avenue and Central Park. Wonderful top floor bar with good food and drinks, incredible views over Manhattan, specially by night.
The hotel needs some TLC. The carpets look faded, old and worn out, plus they give the impression of being dirty. The furniture in the room is worn out and the bathroom looks outdated. Also the common spaces need updating, the elevators are in need of maintenance.

Clean and comfortable beds
There was construction going on that was completely disruptive. My daughter is a college student who moved out earlier during the prior week. She returned to study and attend a last exam. Awful - She was up nearly the entire night due to ongoing construction which I am quite sure the hotel was aware of

Disappointing
Location to Central Park. Easy access to subway.
Room rate $250 a night - no microwave, refrigerator didn't work, no comfortable chair to sit in, the room looked like a converted janitor closet, no listed hotel amenities in room, no coffee maker AND I saw a roach!

Service on the rooftop was not good. Hostesses were rude and would not let me sit outside. Reservation signs on all tables yet they didn't have anyone showing up until 2 hours later. I just wanted to grab a quick drink before my dinner. I left and went somewhere else.
Rooftop service, couldn't open the shade in my room. Dirty spoon on the floor near my bed.
Thank you for your information!
