Great hotel, one of best in NYC
Great hotel, our toilet didn’t work since we walked in, might be just because it’s an old plumbing. Customer service was friendly but ineffective. We had someone come to plunge the toilet but didn’t fix the problem. Overall great stay.

Uneven floor
Very clean basic room in a good location. Floor was not flat around bathroom door corner and created a trip hazard if not careful. Would stay again but will check room prior to acceptance.

This is a beautiful old hotel. Great location. Close to many restaurants, shops and attractions. I felt safe walking around at night. The room was bigger than I expected. The bathroom was a little small. Housekeeping was great at providing towels and keeping the room clean. The bellhops were very kind and helped with our luggage. They also stored our luggage when we arrived at the hotel. We were able to check in 1 hour before our scheduled check in time. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely stay there again.

the Lucerne is a lovely hotel that was gutted and rebuilt about 20 years ago. Great neighborhood with lots of restaurants around it including Nice Matin on the ground floor. Zabars is around the corner and is fun to see all the culinary delights. Very close to Central Park and the Museum of Natural History. Family oriented neighborhood. A welcome relief from mid-town.
