We had a overnight stay at the Lucerne when visiting with family in Manhattan. Normally we stay further downtown at a chain hotel, but this was recommended based on location. This hotel is very attractive and comfortable. Apparently it has been recently renovated, and they really did a nice job. Decor is traditional and elegant, with many design highlights. As to the important stuff--the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was convenient, and everything was clean, clean, clean. At check-in we asked about a shower vs a tub, since we both have some difficulty climbing into some tubs. This option was not available, but the clerk suggested that they provide a shower chair which would help. This was delivered immediately, arriving at the same time as our luggage. There is one caution, and one which caused me to delete a star. This hotel is not accessible if you have motion disability. The entrance has several steps up to the lobby and there is no ramp of any kind. More to the point, there's not even a handrail, which would mitigate the problem. You're left trying to lean on the stone column and the pole that supports the canopy for support. While the doorman was enthusiastic in providing support, it's not the same. We enjoyed Sunday morning brunch at the adjacent Nice/Matin restaurant. Apparently, there is no valet parking, but a discount is provided at a garage about a block away, for net price of $50/night.…

Really enjoyed our stay, Room was spacious for NYC. Didn't try restaurant so only gave food/bev a 3 but there are so many great dining options around, didn't see a need to eat at hotel restaurant. Staff was great - replaced weak wall blowdryer within minutes of me calling the front desk. Also loved having the umbrella available for use - definitely needed it during our stay. Beds and pillows were amazing.

We wanted to stay on the upper west side because our son lives there and we were visiting. This hotel had by far the best combination of value and location. The room was clean and very comfortable. It's NYC, so the rooms are not huge, but it was very nice. The staff were superb. Highly recommend. We will definitely go back.

Older style hotel but rooms nice, staff very helpful. Not cheap, but nothing is in NYC. Food service lacking, or dependent on restaurant in the hotel. No coffee in the morning except what you brew in the room. Market across the street was excellent, but would have liked it within the hotel. Also, could not find a channel guide in the room.When connecting to the internet, the front desk said, use "Lucerne", but the real connection was "The Lucerne Hotel" which I only found out by going through a technician.

Love the location, and the value, but the room was too hot and they would not unlock the temp to go below 68. Otherwise, it is in a great location, they were helpful in finding local restaurants, room was clean and front desk was very friendly.

We had several in our party with one bed or two. Well-proportioned rooms with a small lighted walk-in closet. Views varied. If you want a view ask at time of reservation. Housekeeping excellent and available on the floor all day and early evening. Excellent doormen. Help with luggage. No billing issues. I recommend booking directly with hotel and joining loyalty club. Great UWS location. Plenty of neighborhood restaurants and shops. Easy to get a taxi. Short taxi to Times Square and museums.

Checked all the boxes, great location, nice rooms, clean. It's our go-to hotel when visiting UWS. Nice sized rooms, very clean. Nice Matin is the perfect little breakfast spot for families. We walked to museum and Central Park, super close and easy.
