Fantastic stay
My family and I had a great stay here! Fantastic location in the Upper West Side, which we decided was the best neighborhood in the city, especially with it's close location to Central Park. Everyone at this hotel was friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. If I'm back in New York, I will happily stay here again.

Pleasantly surprised. Excellent and friendly staff from the doorman, front desk and housekeeping. Room was very clean and comfortable and the neighborhood is perfect. Breakfast at the restaurant downstairs was a nice plus. This will be my permanent go to when I'm visiting NY.

My new fav in nyc. Location is great for visiting museum mile with crosstown bus stop steps from the front door and the subway in the next block to travel up or downtown, or to and from Penn Station. Excellent restaurant Nice Matin on site and a 15% discount for breakfast and afternoon Apero (happy hr) featuring generous complimentary hors d'oeuvres.

The Lucerne is near a lot of restaurants, bakeries, convenience stores, etc. It is also about a 20-30 minute walk to Lincoln center depending on how fast you walk. It is located on the Upper West Side which is more like a neighborhood as opposed to the touristy midtown.

We loved the hotel and location. The room was spacious, and the breakfast was tasty at the restaurant. It was very conveniently located, right near a subway stop, so we could get all around the city by foot or by subway easily.

Perfect for families
Clean, spacious family suite in a great neighborhood. Just steps to AMNH and Central Park. Little bit of an older building but it was cosy and convenient to what we wanted to see. Service was good to passable depending on the staff member at the front desk , but an overall positive experience!
