The staff at the Empire couldn't be better... always very helpful. The location is perfect... steps from Columbus Circle subway, Lincoln Center, Central Park, etc. This has become my go-to hotel in NYC.

unbeatable location for the price
Excellent location. Our room had a view overlooking Lincoln Center...ideal as we merely walked across the street to see our daughter perform with American Ballet Theatre at the Metropolitan Opera House. Would have enjoyed a coffee-maker in the room. Far and away better than the hotels we stayed at on previous visits. In evening bedding turned down and cookie treat left on night stand. Terry cloth robes, umbrella available for use. More space would be available in room if chose room with one bed rather than two (this 2-bed room was available to occupy on our early arrival).

Money-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
From Empire Hotel, one block to Central Park, a short walk to Columbus Circle and Time Warner; a little longer walk to Times Square (save on cab fare).
