Reasonably priced Manhattan hotel
The Lucerne is well located on the upper west side; It's been renovated so it is clean and nicely appointed. It would have been nice to have an in-room coffee maker, albeit there was an umbrella and flashlight for ememrgencies. There was 15% off of breakfast at Nice Matin restaurant downstairs and the food was very nice. The standard room is very small but OK if it's just for sleeping rather than hanging out.

Money-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
If you are willing to drive around the block a few times, on weekends you might find a spot on the street..and you don't have to move the car all weekend!

Great hotel in the Upper West Side
Very friendly staff. Older hotel but very well kept. Our room was extremely clean and kept. The only complaint really is that the room was a bit small - but probably about average for NY. Good location, close to most things. A subway ride away from everything.

great one nighter
in town for some live music and needed a place to crash. was all about the location for this one and the hotel was just fine. slow elevators are my only complaint. for a night in the upper west side it will do the trick.

Elegant small hotel
The staff was eager to help, from the entrance to sign-in to departure.The hallway and room looked newly decorated and very clean. Convenient breakfast next door with discount! We'd definitely stay again.

Intimate, Relaxing Experience
We've stayed here before. It's always great. Staff is attentive and polite. Rooms are large by NY standards. Located on the Upper West Side, it is removed from the a lot of the crowds in Manhattan, but an easy walk to Lincoln Center, Central Park, and the MUseum of Natural History, as well as a ten minute subway ride to the theatre district. Can't go wrong here!

Two blocks from Central Park and a bunch of museums. Two separate subway lines within 2 blocks. Clean rooms, friendly staff, safe neighborhood, free wifi. Just a solid value. What's not to like?

Nice Upper West Side Location
Great location for upper west side. Close to subway, easy to get cabs, quiet neighborhood. The staff at The Lucerne was great from the doorman to the room maids. Nice little restaurant attached. While our view was lousy -- brick walls from all 3 windows, we were on the third floor & it was very quiet, no garbage trucks early in the morning or police sirens late at night. The staff did a great job of keeping things clean, but the carpet needed a good shampooing or replacing. It seemed expensive, but that's NYC.

My husband and I were very happy with our recent stay. Our son lives on the uppper west side. so the location was perfect for us. The room was very comfortable with quiet surroundings. The staff was courteous making it a very pleasant experience. We would definitely stay here again.

beautiful hotel on upper west side
Beautiful hotel and location, we got corner rooms which were bright, airy and large. Nice mix of antique look and modern upgrades. Beds and pillows heavenly. Staff were friendly. The room and bathroom were immaculate.
