Great common areas, shabby rooms needing attention

This hotel has a great location right beside Lincoln Center and the common areas of the property (lobby and roof top bar) are terrific. However, our room had nothing but problems. For two mornings, no hot water from the shower on two of the mornings of our stay, the bathroom door wouldn’t fully close, the paint was peeling, the blinds were broken, the air conditioning didn’t stay on and the door locks often didn’t work. The property badly needs to take better care and attention to the rooms themselves. In a city with so many great hotel options the really need to up their game.

The only thing I would rate high on this property is location. There pool and gym were closed. Our cooling system had to be repaired. The smart TV had no internet service personnel arrived to room and informed us that he needed to get a part. We waited over an hour for him and he never return. The shower continued to drip interrupting our sleep. We were charged a residential or daily service fee and I question what services were provided without a working pool, gym, and absence of concierge service.

Pluses and minuses

Great location, great staff, nice front lobby area to chill in. We had some maintenance issue with the shades and blackout blinds not functioning in two rooms. Which others mentioned months ago in reviews, so it means it's a problem management is not willing to spend the money on so that the $400 a night room is comfortable.

The fan to the heat/air conditioning ran 24 hours straight. It was noisy. The heat did not work (two of the days we stayed were chilly and the room needed heat). The hot water in the shower never warmed up. I gave up and left without showering. Very disappointed!!!!

A mixed bag at the Empire these days

We have stayed at The Empire several times and may again but will look around for other options next visit. The neighborhood is outstanding. The staff is great. The rooftop is terrific. I still like the ‘Sex and the City’ era decor. But the wifi is substandard when not outright terrible and thermal comfort in the room is haphazard. Rather than a functional a-c unit, we were surprised to discover that the window in our room was fixed open 4”.
