A clean and comfortable hotel with an exceptionally pleasant and professional staff - everyone! - and immaculate housekeeping, which is hard to come by these days. The towels are in good condition, the bathroom was clean, no weird smells, and no extra furniture like unwanted side chairs cluttering up the space. I would say I am perhaps more discerning than some, and I was super happy with the cleanliness level and responsive staff. Housekeeping deserves recognition! I requested a blanket for the sofa area by answering a text asking if all was okay, and they brought it up without delay. I did not have to call to track it down. This is an organized place. My recommendation would be to turn on the a/c at the hotel breakfast before 8 a.m. because it is just too hot in the morning, very uncomfortable. The service there was also excellent. My other recommendation would be to leave complimentary water for guests. There was a bottle of Evian with a $6.75 price tag. That looked tacky and out of place. Plus who knows how long that bottle had been sitting there. If you're looking for a spot close to the Met it's about a mile walk through Central Park. We booked a king suite through Orbitz. Shuttle (car) service to LGA was $75, cheaper than Uber. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Hope this is helpful.

This was a wonderful hotel is in a quiet area, yet convenient for subway station restaurants and Central Park. They have a spacious room that was perfect for us with the kids. Hotel staff were delighful and we enjoyed our stay. There is no breakfast but plenty of local options nearby and also fridge and microwave in room with space to have breakfast if you prefer. Elevators are old and slow but otherwise everything was great.

The Lucerne is well maintained by reliable and courteous staff. My double room provided more than ample space for two travelers, more space than other NYC hotels. The restaurant staff was equally gracious. And the convenient location was quiet but also allowed for easy access to both Central Park and Riverfront Park.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at the Lucerne. We love the location for access to Central Park and Riverside Drive and so many restaurants and with two train station stations nearby it is easy to get anywhere. We were there for six nights and had a suite which made our stay easy and relaxed. The bed was comfortable, and the bedroom was quite quiet as the door to the hallway was off the living room.The staff is helpful, but unfortunately, the service elevator was not working the whole time we were there so we were sharing the guest elevators. Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay

Excellent location. Convenient subway and bus connections to other parts of Manhattan. A variety of restaurants in the local area (although we ended up breakfasting and dining at Nice Matin, which is immediately next door). The mattress in our room was so comfortable that we slept better here than at home.

The hotel is in the perfect location. It walking distance to Central Park, the Musesum of Natural History, great restaurants and more. There is a delcious restuarant right next door that is connected to the restaruant that serves a great breakfast - the hot chocolate is a favorite, lunch and dinner. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful.

The Lucerne hotel is very well-located and the hotel itself and the room were very nicely decorated as well as comfortable spacious, clean and well appointed. The staff was very helpful and the Nice Matin restaurant on the ground floor serves excellent food for breakfast, lunch, cocktails and dinner.

A very nice hotel, with character. Terrific location, the onsite restaurant, Nice Matin, is first rate. Next to a M79 bus stop. Will certainly try to go back.

I was blown away at how large the room was! I expected New York small but my double double was extremely spacious. The service is excellent and the hotel feels elegant and refined. Public transportation is steps away and there are plenty of shops and restaurants in walking distance. I loved it.
