“Wonderful Location, Fantastic Staff & Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2010

Wonderful "home away from home" on the West Side--within walking distance to great restaurants and shops (you must spend an hour in Zabars!). Nice to be away from tourists and in a real neighborhood. The beds, shower and room were great. But the best thing was the attentive service from the staff and management---when they found I had left my pocketbook in the room safe, they called me to let me know, and sent it back UPS the next day! They also extended a warmth and friendliness rarely encountered at larger hotels. The doormen were a wonderful addition, and friendly and helpful. Liked locked hotel after hours, felt very safe--and evenings were quiet to sleep. Free wifi. Will stay there again--for sure.

“Great hotel, GREAT STAFF”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2010

I stayed at this hotel from 02-24-10 to 02-28-10. The hotel was very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The bed and pillows were a bit too soft for me.(I prefer a firm bed.) However, I will be returning to NYC soon and will definitely stay at this hotel again. The Nice Matin resturant was nice also.

“Nice accommodations on the UWS”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2010

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 79th, so there was a lot of traffic noise. Request a room on the highest floor possible to minimize the street noise. The room was nice - 2 beds, a desk, dresser, television, and a small bathroom. Everything was updated and the beds were warm and comfortable. It would have been nice to have a refrigerator in the room.

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.
