Beautiful room and accommodations. There was a clicking sound that came from the AC/fan in both the bedroom and the living area. We kept the fan on at night to keep from hearing the clicking.

The hotel lobby was inviting and immaculate. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was very quiet, even though I was on the 2nd floor. Very walkable neighborhood, and the restaurant next door was outstanding.

The Lucerne is in a great location in a safe, convenient, legendary neighborhood. Abundant restaurants and hangouts nearby in any direction for a true New York experience, quite removed from high density tourist hotels. Easy subway access to other areas of the city or airports. The Lucerne is where locals refer friends and family to stay. Not cheap, but a fair value in New York, and far less than other similar venues. If you pay less, you will get less. The Lucerne is quiet, clean, safe, and well maintained. The Lucerne staff are friendly and well trained. Pay the extra for a daily breakfast at Petit Matin which is located in the same building as the Lucerne, and has an entry door next to the elevators. It’s also a great place for dinners, and is a local favorite. Tough to find a better value in a better location than the Lucerne.

No fans in the rooms and air conditioning would shut off after an hour so we’d wake up extremely hot in the middle of the night. Our TV also kept on turning on and off by itself like it was possessed ao we had to unplug it. That being said, the convenient location around lots of restaurants and by the subway made all the inconveniences worth it.

I loved my stay overall. What I did not like at all is that there are five or six large deep steps to get into the hotel and no railing on either side to hold onto. I'm very surprised they allowed this.
