We arrived at noon, 3 hours before check in. They said they would text when the room was ready but clearly failed to as we had to go to the counter at 3. There are no coffee machines in the room or access to coffee in the Lobby. Given the 650 cad/night rates, I would expect coffee to be provided to guests at no cost. So if you're a coffee drinker and frequent traveller, you will miss this convenience. The room was barely adequate and needs to be updated with wall paper peeling off the wall and no ability to control the room temp so we had issues with room temp either being too hot or cold. Staff friendliness was hit and miss, some greeting us warmly and others like it was a chore to help. I typically stay at the Shelburne Murray Hill Sonesta on the east side for the same price but they had no availability and while slightly away from the hustle bustle , the hotel and rooms are far superior to that of the Empire. I wouldn't stay at the Empire again and they have work to do to be considered a mid level hotel. The only positive from my stay was the location with lots of restaurants and amenities nearby including Starbucks and a wonderful independent coffee shop on Broadway around the corner (better than Starbucks).

It was in a great location to shop and find restaurants, and walk to the theaters. The staff were all nice. The bathroom was very tight/a large person would have trouble using the toilet as it is VERY close to the small sink. (My daughter kept splashing water, which resulted in a wet toilet seat)

The Empire Hotel has seen better days. Our room was shabby at best with banged up furniture, peeling paper, broken blinds and a non-existent heating system. I asked the front desk for a luggage rack twice on the day of arrival and it never appeared. Could not adjust the heat or air in the room. All it did was blow cold air. There were a couple of people at the front desk who were plesant, but on checkout, I was not asked about my stay. Super disappointed overall.
