I have done extensive traveling. Rarely have I paid 500 bucks a night for a hotel room except at Farimount properties. I know that NYC is not priced to most standards but 500 bucks should still carry with it an expectation of well-above-average standards. The only good thing about it was the location. As soon as I walked in I got a bad vibe. The decor was dark, heavily draped and dingy. The deluxe premium room was small, had one chair and again the decor was brown/black. There was a full shower with half of a shower door so water went everywhere. There was a sink but it was 2 inches deep so water went everywhere. there was no counter space and the whole thing annoyed me.The street noise was typical but the hotel patrons were beyond noisy! For 500 bucks a night I expected a refined clientele and it was anything but...sorry I have stayed in better Marriotts, Hampton for under 100 bucks a night. I would NEVER go back, in fact I could not wait to get home! The front desk was oblivious and contacting them at all was a hassle. Next time I am in NYC I will stay at a Marriott even if is more than 500 bucks. Shame on you EMPIRE HOTEL!!!!!!
