Lucerne weekend stay
Great location! Friendly staff! Great room with separate sitting area. Bathroom small, shower not the greatest. Suggest better lighting & additional trash can.

Bad experience
Not a great hotel. The front desk person was rude. My room was next to fitness center so both mornings woke up at 5am to people coming in and out nonstop.
I would not stay there again

Excellent service, great location. Very comfortable room. And, incidentally, the best water pressure of any hotel I have ever stayed in.

Great location and staff.
Service was excellent, staff pleasant and very responsive to requests. Beds are very comfortable, location is excellent with many small restaurants and markets close by. Broadway train station less than a block. Cons were...heat is turned down at night, with 40deg outside it was uncomfortably cool in the room. Also hot water was great in am but down to lukewarm by evening. With the room cold and only warmish water, a pm shower wasn't possible. Would definitely stay again when it is not so cold.

Unimpressed, unfriendly
AC didn’t work. Ran out of toilet paper and tissues in the first few hours. Staff not cordial. No rush to bring aforementioned paper products. The beds were like large pillows which you need a pole vault to get in or out of. Pillows are feather. Outdated lobby with conversations of one of two elevators breaking down.

Nice hotel for staying in the UWS.
Our TV didn’t work neither would our devices connect to the WiFi. The staff were quick to fix both issues, even calling us back to make sure the WiFi was working.
