My stay at The Empire Hotel was extremely disappointing. The room was in poor condition and clearly requires significant maintenance. The sink drained very slowly and was actually loose from the counter. The shower was constantly dripping, several tile joints were cracked or damaged, and the curtains were not working properly. The A/C was extremely noisy, sounding like an old car, which made it difficult to relax or sleep comfortably. Unfortunately, the condition of the room was only part of the problem. The most disturbing incident occurred on Saturday at approximately 2:00 PM. A hotel employee came to my door accompanied by a security officer and a dog, and they proceeded to have the dog sniff throughout my room. The entire hotel had a strong smell of marijuana, and apparently my room was also checked. I have no knowledge of whether the same procedure was carried out in other rooms, but having a security officer and a dog enter the room area without any prior explanation was extremely uncomfortable and unsettling. For a hotel with The Empire’s reputation and pricing, I expected a significantly higher standard of maintenance, service, and guest experience. Overall, this was not the quality of stay I would expect from this hotel, and unfortunately, I will not be staying at The Empire Hotel again.

Do not book based off the photos as the rooms are nothing like what is shown. Lobby is beautiful + well maintained. Employees were friendly + housekeeping was good. I don't know what kind of lens they were using to shoot the photos on this site, but the rooms were tiny compared to what was shown. Beds were small and extremely uncomfortable. No walking space, bathroom so small that you had to shimmy against the wall to close the door. The gym wasn't hardly usable with more than 3 people in it. Our shower had a soap caddy falling off the wall and our conditioner bottle (attached to wall) was there upon check-in but then went missing after the 2nd day of our stay + never replaced. Old building, so to be expected to a degree, but room was just far more rundown than what I was led to believe from the hotels.com website. Regardless - the location is great and because we only had 3 travelers, it worked. I thought we had found a decent deal on a gorgeous hotel, but just turned out to be a decent deal on a beautiful lobby and rundown room. Not even saying I wouldn't stay again, just a bummer when you are led to believe you're getting something different from what you receive.
