7.0/10

During my stay at the hotel, I found the location to be wonderfully convenient, especially for visiting Central Park and Lincoln Center. The rooftop pool area was a nice touch, although the dining options left something to be desired. While the room was functional, it was a bit cramped for comfort. The service was generally friendly, but there were a couple of hiccups that could use improvement.

The room was quite small and somewhat tired, making it less comfortable than I'd hoped. It had a cozy living area, but the petite sink was a hassle to navigate.

Most of the staff were friendly and eager to help; however, I did encounter one rude staff member when there was an issue with my key card, which was a bit surprising.

I had a great stay at the Empire Hotel, enjoying its cleanliness and trendy vibe. The location is spot on, with easy access to Lincoln Center and Central Park. However, the room's small size and some maintenance issues left a bit to be desired. Overall, it’s not the best value for money, but definitely a solid choice for those wanting to explore the area.
