Excellent

The Lucerne is a simple, clean, and quietly elegant hotel. I have stayed there multiple times, in different rooms, and am always happy with the experience. No major frills or entertainments, just a good hotel on the UWS.

Not for the Solo Traveler

I chose this hotel for its proximity to The Beacon. I arrived early due to train schedule. Quite a few people, mostly family and groups were there waiting for early check in. I was offered luggage check in. I stayed in lobby for about an hour to recover from train (water, restroom, etc) and took luggage offer. During that hour, other customers arrived to seek early check in. I went to walk and they said they would call. I arrived back to an empty lobby (everyone checked in) and asked about my room. The desk person could not even find my name. I told him I had checked in earlier with someone else and in fact, they had my bag. He asked for my name again. Found it and curtly said "Your room will be available at 4pm, our posted check in time". This is classic solo traveler treatment. Being NYC, I would expect better. The lobby decor is boutique, lending some charm, but uncomfortable for long waits.

Pleasantly surprised. Excellent and friendly staff from the doorman, front desk and housekeeping. Room was very clean and comfortable and the neighborhood is perfect. Breakfast at the restaurant downstairs was a nice plus. This will be my permanent go to when I'm visiting NY.

The room was too small. No convenient plugs for our phones. No refrig or microwave in standard room. Loved the firm beds and good water pressure in shower. We chose not to upgrade to a suite/ too expensive.

The Lucerne is near a lot of restaurants, bakeries, convenience stores, etc. It is also about a 20-30 minute walk to Lincoln center depending on how fast you walk. It is located on the Upper West Side which is more like a neighborhood as opposed to the touristy midtown.

Fantastic stay

My family and I had a great stay here! Fantastic location in the Upper West Side, which we decided was the best neighborhood in the city, especially with it's close location to Central Park. Everyone at this hotel was friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. If I'm back in New York, I will happily stay here again.

My new fav in nyc. Location is great for visiting museum mile with crosstown bus stop steps from the front door and the subway in the next block to travel up or downtown, or to and from Penn Station. Excellent restaurant Nice Matin on site and a 15% discount for breakfast and afternoon Apero (happy hr) featuring generous complimentary hors d'oeuvres.
