The Empire Hotel New York

The Empire has a stellar location near Columbus Circle and the Lincoln Center for ballet, opera and jazz at the Lincoln Center and the staff id very good and friendly. However it needs a serious infusion of cash to do some very deferred maintenance. The room we were in which was supposedly deluxe had frayed carpets, torn wallpaper and sub par bathroom facilities. I am never a proponent of corporations taking over mom and pop or private businesses but this hotel needs to be saved by a Marriott or Hilton and get a complete overhaul. It's a shame to let a location like this not live to it's full potential.

The bathroom is severely out of date. The location is great and super convenient. The room is completely acceptable. Just wish the bathroom didn’t seem like a cheap rental apartment.

The room was a little dark and dingy and are view was terrible…of some sort of shaft with equipment.

Great location with wonderful Mexican restaurant on mezzanine floor. Rooms large, beds comfortable. Excellent for shows at Lincoln Center and for museums on both sides of the Central Park.
