We had a great stay at the Empire! The location is walking distance to Times Square, Rockefeller Plaza, and right across the street from Central Park! The hotel cleaned our rooms and exchanged towels everyday and the staff was so sweet. The pool was a great way to cool off after a day of walking but definitely very small so not a place you could spend all day. All in all, our stay was perfect for a family with kids and we felt very safe walking around even after dark! Can’t wait to go back.
