Away from the hustle and bustle of Times Square.
We were a family of 4 (2 teenage daughters), visiting the week before Christmas, stayed in a room with 2 Queen beds in the main room, a middle room which we used for suitcases and dressing and a bathroom. We wanted to stay away from Times Square area as we knew it would be super busy at Christmas time and we liked the idea of being able to just visit that area, but then experience another area of the city. The location of Lucerne gave us the escape from the madness and noise of midtown, but meant we were still ideally located to walk downtown or catch the subway (2 min walk) and get where we wanted very easily. Additionally, the closeness to Central Park meant we coult fit in some early morning jogs and explore there too. The Upper West Side seems like a very nice part of the city, more residential and felt more authentic NY than other parts of the city. The room was cleaned every day and for the small amount of time we spent in it (mainly asleep), it provided us with what we needed..comfy clean beds, clean towels and a lovely hot shower. Any small requests were accommodated, not that we needed much as we are quite self-sufficient. Overall, we would recommended this hotel if you don't mind walking and enjoy being away from the central, touristy areas, but knowing you can get to everywhere you want simply enough. The staff were friendly and pleasant enough. We did arrange a taxi through the hotel to take us to the airport, however we were let down and got a yellow!

Perfect, wonderful hotel
Was a beautiful hotel in a great location. We were surprised to get a two room suite that was clean and comfortable. Our reservation included breakfast at an adjacent restaurant, which we enjoyed. Highly recommend and we will plan to return for another stay. So happy with our choice. No complaints! Only comment is to be aware that hotel doesn’t have parking.

This hotel is a great option to stay in New York! The hotel is close to the metro station and in 15/20 minutes you can reach the 5th ave and the main attractions. The rooms are spacious and soundproofed and we had an enjoyable view of the city. You can also have a nice breakfast/dinner at nice matin which is attached to the hotel. But you have also plenty of options nearby.

Disappointed in the deluxe room. Over priced for what I received in the room. The deluxe room consisted of a bed, dresser, nightstand, desk. No table and chairs to sit and have a meal. Guess I expected more for the over priced room.

My room had space! In NYC this seems rare. Besides being spacious, my room had a view of the neighborhood and was clean. Everyone I spoke to at this hotel was friendly and helpful, including other guests! It was an easy walk to different subway lines.

Lovely hotel in great location. Staff very polite and efficient. We had a fantastic room, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and spacious for a family of four. Subway stop only across the street and we navigated the stops easily. The hotel is situated in a lovely neighbourhood with lots of restaurants nearby. Will definitely return to stay here again.

We were here over night with our two young children. It was surprisingly quiet for the city. A small but clean and lovely hotel. Very nice staff. Also, we keep kosher and it was walkable to many restaurants, and a short subway trip to even more.
