Loved by Hotel Lucerne guests
"The room was stunning with great facilities."
"I learned that many windows were replaced with sound barrier glass, so even though we were on the 2nd floor, we couldn't hear the NYC street sounds much at all."
"They also had something I had not seen before in the hotels I normally stay at in NYC, they had an umbrella in the closet to use during our stay along with the the other amenities a good hotel should have."

“I appreciate the Upper West Side's more residential feel, and this property puts you right in that environment while keeping all of Manhattan accessible. The building itself has real history, and I noted that the spacious rooms and attentive service seemed especially well-suited to families or longer stays. The on-site French restaurant is a major draw, too.”

the location was very convenient. lots of dining options were available in the area. the subway was close, it connected me to the city.
the lobby was sparse and kind of dark. upper floors smelled old due to the carpet. i do think the cups being plastic wrapped wasn't necessary.

the staff was nice and the location ideal. the beds feel so comfortable. i only have two little things i didn't give top marks. water shut for some hours because the maintenance but they didn't say nothing before. room thermostat has less adjustment. all positive things outweighs minor issues.
the hotel feels tired a bit. toilet seat felt small. it was a challenge to find the perfect spot. air conditioning had minimum temperature. i had to ask the front desk to lower it, but it didn't last so long.
