The Lobby was the best part along with the staff who was very accommodating and helpful despite the fact that our room had a moldy smell and was not in the best condition. Honestly its a 3 star Hotel at best. but the staff made it more pleasant but I left because my asthma couldn't take the smell.

Am working with the manager Benito as we arrived to find most of the hotel- including the front entrance- closed for filming. This was a Friday night at 5pm- the busiest time for weekend events and people (like us) needing to check in quickly and get out to Lincoln center and other performances. The elevators were monopolized by film crew- we were all in service elevators. At one point my small daughter and I ended up out on wrong floor with the trash in basement as they sent us to wrong lower floor. We missed dinner reservations as it took so long to get up to our room and then out again. There was no where in hotel to get a drink even on our return from the event at 9pm. Not even reception was answering the house phone, so I had to call them on my cell phone to the external number. This is not acceptable service when people have spent good money for a room here. Benito has been sympathetic to our feedback. It was a shame as the location is great for Lincoln Center- but they should have either called all guests or proactively offered a discount or a dining voucher locally. Anything to acknowledge that they took a lucrative filming deal at their guest’s expense.

Could be excellent with some renovations

The Empire is in a convenient location with excellent amenities compared to other hotels in the immediate area. I was just disappointed that the black out shade was broken and couldn’t be pulled open during the day to get light, and the thermostat wasn’t working so the fan just kept whirring all night. We had a broken AC in our room when I stayed there a year ago as well.
