1. The hotel is within sight of the Lincoln Center - hard to be located more centrally in Manhattan.

3. The Empire tries really hard to maintain a younger Euro vibe and as such there is a lot of dance/electronic music played both in the lobby and on the rooftop, which depending on what you are going for could be good or bad.

5. Booked with some trepidation due to the mixed reviews but have learnt to take some of the reviews with a pinch of salt, however on first impression I was disappointed with the Empire, the standard queen room was tiny with hardly any space for luggage or clothes storage.

"Not bad for 4 night stay " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/2/2012 Vote

6. Sadly, and I kind of found it hard to believe it was fully booked on a weekday, we couldn't add an additional night.

9. But the room was tiny, the view was of an inner courtyard with nothing but brick walls and windows of other rooms, and the bed was hard as a rock.

"No way is this a 4 star hotel " Read full review on TripAdvisor 1/20/2012 Vote

10. You would expect as these doors are very hard to open epically if your carrying luggage.
