The Empire Hotel is very well located, with everything one needs on a vacation trip to New York nearby, good stores, supermarkets, subway station, Central Park, Lincoln Center. The staff was friendly and helpful.
But, on the other hand, the hotel in general is not in a good state of cleanliness, especially the common areas, dirty elevators, papers on the floor of the hotel lobby, the lobby has a strange smell like wet clothes without proper drying, the rooms are already somewhat old.
A four-star hotel with all the potential to be a great hotel, but it was beaten by years of operation and today leaves much to be desired.
