City Island Cheap Vacations

After reading the reviews, I’m glad I still chose The Empire Hotel. Not only was the decor beautiful and the customer service super friendly and professional, at check-in, at the pool, and on the rooftop lounge, but I was also very satisfied with the rooms. There seem to be a lot of negative comments about the rooms, but ours were very clean, the bathroom was spotless with nice products included, the beds and pillows were super comfy, and the decor felt warm and even a little romantic. The hallways also had a cozy vibe. Some may call it outdated, but it was clean, had character, and made for some great photos. It’s true the rooms aren’t the most spacious, but we were still comfortable and felt really good about our choice. Another bonus, we didn’t realize until we got there that the rooftop was a Gossip Girl filming location. As fans, it was such a cute surprise and made for fun photo moments, plus the rooftop vibe was relaxed, the food was really good, and the decor was just gorgeous. Even more perks: Starbucks right on the corner, and the best little gelato spot tucked right between the hotel and Starbucks, such a win for late-night or post-adventure treats. We’d absolutely stay here again and again, The Empire is officially our NYC go-to. XOXO, a very happy family!

Very convenient to shopping and restaurants, and the staff were excellent

Lotte is centrally located in midtown within walking distance to many tourist destinations. The Lotte was chosen due to Spa services located in the building and easy access by elevator.

Staff friendly and helpful. Especially Paola and Marcelo. Hotel is in nice location, clean and rooms are big.

The room and staff were wonderful. Very comfortable and conveniently located. We weren't very impressed with the breakfast, which was disappointing since I had heard great things. The chafing dishes did not keep the food hot enough in my opinion. Everything was barely warm. We only ate there once and went a different route the next day. It's pretty pricey for just being meh.

I recently stayed at The Dominick Hotel in SoHo, New York City, and it was absolutely beautiful! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm, friendly service that made me feel instantly welcome. The hotel itself is stunning—modern, stylish, and impeccably clean. My room was spacious with breathtaking views of the city, and every detail felt thoughtfully designed for comfort. The location couldn’t be more perfect—right in the heart of SoHo, surrounded by amazing shops, restaurants, and art galleries, yet the hotel still feels like a peaceful escape from the busy streets. The amenities were top-notch, and I especially loved the relaxing atmosphere throughout the property. If you’re visiting NYC and want a luxurious, memorable stay, The Dominick Hotel is a must. I can’t wait to come back!
