This was a favorite of my wife and I, but seems to have gone downhill. We stayed 5 nights and had reservations for another 3 nights a month later (which we cancelled). When we arrived the staff was welcoming - until we got to our room which reeked of smoke, our something! We spoke to the front desk and went to dinner (Nice Matin is a lovely restaurant of the lobby)! After dinner the person at the desk said they had no other rooms and that they had dealt with the odor - which he characterized as “sometimes happens, it’s an old hotel”! They had turned the AC up, and the odor was better but not gone. It never fully dissipated the whole 5 nights. Didn’t appreciate being gaslighted by the staff. Our second stay was at a different hotel down the street - nicer and cheaper! So disappointing!

Hotel is just old. Our "sitting room" smelled like urine - probably from them letting pets stay there. Air Conditioning is loud and wakes you up. It's not central air. - it's just a unit that turns on/off when it gets hot. Loud noises from the street as well. I would not recommend this hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at The Lucerne. The room was bigger than any other hotel room I've had in NYC. We also had a fridge and microwave. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and responded immediately with any questions or requests. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Great hotel in a great location

The hotel was extremely clean, staff were friendly and helpful and the location couldnt be beat. Lots of great restaurants around, access to Central Park, shops, bank machine, pharmacy. Really great neighbourhood as base for holiday as it was laid back with less bustle but easy to get to sites...

The best thing about this hotel was the location. Some of the doormen were rude and not much help. Front desk was lovely. Bathroom could have been cleaner. Our room had no view although was comfortable. Expected a bit more from a room at this price point.

The Lucerne is situated in the perfect spot on the upper west side. Close to the subway on a key line, loads of restaurants and just a couple blocks to Central Park. It’s the prefect spot to enjoy all that NYC has to offer

The Lucerne has been a longtime favorite of our family though we hadn’t stayed in over a decade. The hotel was still just as beautiful and elegant as it always has been. Amazing location blocks from Central Park. Nice Matin, the onsite restaurant, remains a neighborhood staple, which is no small feat in NYC. We won’t hesitate to book again.

A perfect perch in NYC westside

Beautiful spot with excellent people. Few suggestions; Give guest an option to reuse towel more than once? I don’t need 5 towels for 5 days. More accessible outlets in room would be lovely. But the ambience & comfort & especially the people, gracious & helpful, we’re top notch.

No USB ports on the lamps or by the beds. No Microwaves or small fridge. Ice machine is only on second floor instead of every floor As most hotels. Elevator is scary. Needs updating or lower the prices!
