Upon check-in we were offered a free room upgrade that we accepted. At about 2:30 am we were abruptly awoken to pounding at our door with a forceful attempt to break in. After asking who was there, we were told that it was the night management and that we had no reservation for the assigned room and to please open the door. We did not open the door due to fear of not knowing if it was hotel staff or unknowns attempting to break in. After calling down to reception and be putting on hold due to "an issue" we were assured that it was management which prompted us to open the door only to be berated for not doing so sooner. No time during this conversation was there an apology by this person for waking us up in the middle of the night as well as the hotel error at check-in as it appeared that the room upgrade was not processed correctly therefore showing no record of us staying in that room. In fact, night management told us that we should be apologizing to him for not opening the door sooner! This person had no regard to guest etiquette and could have solved the problem much sooner if he did not go on and on of how we were in the wrong (as we did not open the door to strangers). Morning management was much more sympathetic and did credit us for our one-night stay, but what was supposed to be a fun birthday celebration ended up being a sleepless night and a fatigued next day.

The room was extremely hot, almost like a sauna. The only solution offered was to open the window, which brought in noise and dirt from New York City. Additionally, the hotel manager behaved disrespectfully and insultingly, and his rudeness made the stay very unpleasant.

The Empire Hotel was disappointing. The room had a furnace, which is fine, but when it kicked ON it was so incredibly loud and obnoxious. I couldnt sleep! I had to move rooms. The staff was friendly, I will say. They accommodated me. The hotel is just too old and has issues. Wont be staying there again.
