"Always stay at the Empire because its proximity to Lincoln center and family members"

Staff is good, rooms are OK. Bathroom is small but shower is great. Hotel doesn't own rooftop bar but food and drinks are good. There's. Starbucks downstairs, PJ Clark's for good burgers and some tasty Gelato all conveniently located on street level of building.
