Hotel was built in 1911 a residence, but was turned into a hotel and continually updated to meet modern code. Room was exceptional, with a view of two streets in a corner room. Beds were firm, decor was perfect, and all staff were friendly, helpful, and efficient.

We enjoyed almost a week long stay at the Lucerne Hotel. The location is fabulous, a half block from the subway and hundreds of restaurants and bars nearby. Central Park and the museum of natural history are also very close. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The inner shower curtain in our room (319) does need to be replaced. But we enjoyed our stay and would gladly stay there again.

Lovely old-fashioned hotel in a great location
Overall, my stay was fine. The hotel is majestic and the staff were friendly. But I personally think the hotel needs some modern upgrades, like quiet central air conditioning, mini fridges in all rooms, and more comfortable lounging furniture in the suites (our suite just had a couple of chairs but no sofa). I had a few minor issues, such as housekeeping walking into our room when we had the "do not disturb" sign on the door. But I appreciate the old-school beauty of the hotel, and it was a very quiet and relaxing space. The location is extremely nice and convenient.

Overall: Elegant old hotel on the Upper West Side. Location: Wonderful. Building and Room: Beautiful. Elevators: Slow and unpredictable. Amenity: Bring your own hair conditioner. The small plastic bottle had a teeny tiny hole; the bottle was unsqueezable; and the cap was unremovable. I agonized in the shower before going to work.

Good hotel. My only complaint was the noise. I did not ask for anything except for a quiet room. They gave me a room with a window towards the apartment shaft, I was happy with that as it would not have noise from outside. Unfortunately, though, their room doors must have no insulation. Across from my room, there was another room with a bunch of teenagers. So it was practically impossible to sleep as there was a lot of traffic, and screaming all through the nights that I stayed. Still, the neighborhood and the room are good, and the hotel is one of the better ones in Manhattan.

Our stay was nice but when we first check in the person who checked us in was not very helpful. I had to coax out information about close by area attractions. Unfortunately I did not ask his name. Also I thought the bottled water that was in the room was complimentary at first. Otherwise our stay was uneventful.
