Stay here!
It’s amazing. Perfect service great location with a subway stop super close and a TKTS booth for half price tickets around the corner. PJ’s restaurant downstairs is legendary. We had lobster rolls. They let us store bags after we checked out. It’s perfect in every way.

Good location but poor maintenance
The keys to our room didn’t work throughout our stay. Every day, we had to visit the front desk multiple times to resolve the issue. We noticed other guests experiencing the same problem. When we mentioned it to the front desk before checking out, they finally acknowledged it was a general issue but didn’t provide an explanation. While the hotel is centrally located, it is in need of improvement.

Opera outing.
I traveled from New Zealand for three days of Opera at the Met then back home again. The Empire was a friendly base close to the Lincoln Center that was safe to come back to late at night.

Save Your Money! Book elsewhere!
Honestly I’m very disappointed with my stay at the empire…we specifically picked this property because they had 4 stars and it was most definitely not 4 stars. We were unable to use the toilet because it didn’t properly flush so kept getting stuck up. You can tell it gets clogged all the time because of the scratches in the toilet from all the times maintenance has come to snake it. We had them come fix it and then it immediately happened again right after. The entire duration of our stay we had to go to the mezzanine level to use the bathroom. Aside from the toilet the room smelled like mold and the carpets were all worn down with tears and exposed padding. The furniture in the room was dirty and old and side panels on some of the furniture were falling off and peeling off as well as cracks in the ceiling and what appears to be water damage. The pictures online also make it appear like a much larger room than it actually is. I tried to explain to the front desk my issues with the room they just nodded at me and said I’m sorry. Zero type of accommodation.

The rooms need a total update. The walls in the bathroom looked moldy. Incredibly small room, that made it difficult to walk around the bed. I paid over $1,000 for two night stay. I expected better sleeping conditions. The rooms didn’t have a safe deposit box- a standard everywhere else. Location is great, it’s a shame the rooms where is such bad conditions.
