The property was very nice and swanky right in the middle of West side Manhattan. Walking distance from shops, eateries, and entertainment, as well as subway stations and bus stops! I made the mistake of Ubering everywhere the first two days before I found out how affordable and amazing the New York City public transportation system is! Our hotel was so accessible from everywhere in the city and surrounding Burroughs. Central Park, Time Square, Lower Manhattan, all just a very short walk or ride away!

The Empire has a stellar location near Columbus Circle and the Lincoln Center for ballet, opera and jazz at the Lincoln Center and the staff id very good and friendly. However it needs a serious infusion of cash to do some very deferred maintenance. The room we were in which was supposedly deluxe had frayed carpets, torn wallpaper and sub par bathroom facilities. I am never a proponent of corporations taking over mom and pop or private businesses but this hotel needs to be saved by a Marriott or Hilton and get a complete overhaul. It's a shame to let a location like this not live to it's full potential.
