We were at the Lucerne for a hospital procedure at nearby Mt Sinai Morningside Hospital. The staff was very accommodating and helpful and ensured we had a quiet room tucked away in a corner. The room and bathroom was spotless. The hotel has an "old world charm" that is very distinctive and pleasant. The beds were very comfortable too. The bathroom isn't ultra modern, but the fact that it was spotless made up for that! We loved the countless restaurant options just around the corner from the hotel and the easy access to the subway, Central Park and the Natural History Museum was also an unexpected bonus!

The Historic Lucerne feels like a European Hotel - is not a chain. I enjoy staying in a smaller place, in a real neighborhood. As an Art, culture and museum person, the location is great, the staff is wonderful, as is the Nice/Matin restaurant located in the building.

Requested a fridge for when I arrived, yet it wasn't there when I got to my room and I had to specifically ask for one. The fridge was installed quickly, but the first one they put in was broken. Its compressor would only go on for brief periods before shutting off, and the fridge barely got cold. When I asked the staff about my concerns, they told me this was normal, and I shouldn't expect it to get that cold. Ultimately it stopped working at all overnight and seemingly blew the outlet too. They put in a new fridge at my request, and upon plugging it in, nothing happened. They told me this was normal and I should just wait for it. I had to be the one to suggest that the outlet needed a reset; after doing so, the new fridge finally began working as I would expect a fridge to.
