Empire Hotel
Room was a good size. Shower was nice. No amenities, which was disappointing. There used to be a Keurig cofee and hot water maker.

Loews Regency New York Hotel
Very friendly, smiley welcome out front from Javier - not to mention great help pulling up in front of the hotel so i could valet (he stopped traffic!) - and a warm welcome from Victor at the front desk. Also my bags were very, very promptly brought upstairs which I appreciate as I was in a rush ...
