I spent a week at the Lucerne with my mother during a cold week in December. We needed to be on the upper west side, and this was a fine choice in terms of accommodations, location, access to a variety of food choices, as well as transportation (cabs, buses and subway). Our room was on the corner of Amsterdam and... more

We had a wonderful 6 night stay at the Lucerne in January. The Upper West Side location was great (close to subway, Central Park, museums) and it was good to be away from the hyper activity of midtown. Hotel is nothing flashy but clean, comfortable and extremely quiet. Highly recommended. more

I've stayed here 2x now. Both trips were for academic conferences so I needed sleep and quiet on my down time. The hotel is well appointed, clean, great sheets, comfy mattress, perfect size gym with all the right equipment. I sleep better here than at home! Keep up the good work. more

While hotel is located in a more residential area of New York, it is very close to Central park, museum of Natural History, and not far from Lincoln Center, and lots of good restaurants and shops but without the craziness of mid-town. And subway is only half a block away, which gets you everywhere easily (10 minutes to Times Square).... more

Most importantly, the rooms were clean and comfortable and the hotel is located in a great part of town. The upper west side has a number of fantastic restaurants and... more

My husband and I stayed at the Lucerne Hotel for three nights, from November 13-16, 2009. We had a standard room with King size bed - nothing to write home about, certainly not luxurious, but clean and quiet. As others have all mentioned, this hotel should not be confused with a 4 or 5 star luxury hotel, but it is... more

For our first 3 nights in NYC (Dec 25 - 28) we stayed at a midtown hotel. For the last 2 nights we moved up to the Upper Westside because the rates were considerably less because of New Years. We were looking for a clean, comfortable hotel with rooms big enough to hold our luggage. The Lucerne was perfect! The... more

The previous reviews on Trip Advisor were correct! The Lucerne is a great place to stay. The staff is very helpful. I like the small size instead of a hotel with 1000 rooms. The subway (Number 1 - the main North-South line) at 79th St. is a 3-4 minute walk. The museum of Natural History is 2 blocks. Central Park... more
