The room was clean. The heater was delightfully oppressive on a zero degree day. The tv needs some updating but it was fine. Loved the bottles of water at check in. Everyone was great. Wish there was coffee in house instead of having to go around the corner to Starbucks but that’s mostly zero degree weather related. Loved my view of Broadway.

The hotel needed basic maintenance...no heat in the room...it was 11 degrees outside...no hot water...LOUD 1st floor room...When our credit card statement was reviewed, we had a $22.89 charge since Expedia used. A third party charge I was told. I called the hotel and asked for the service fee to be removed...Denied... Go someplace else that respects you and doesn't hide fees to their customers...

I booked 2 rooms at Empire Hotel due to the snow storm in NYC. Seemed lovely but decieving. Hidden $22.89 charge since Expedia was used. Sneaky. Never mentioned when checking in. Neither room had heat. It was 11 degrees out. Had to call twice then go to front desk for maintenance to turn heat on. TV did not work. VERY noisy room next to elevator but thank goodness for earplugs. Comfy beds. Pretty lobby. Close to Central Park. But Sneaky hidden fees. Called after received credit card statement....The fees were never mentioned when checking IN or OUT ..Find an honest hotel...
