Empire Hotel
"This place has great staff, and a cool rooftop bar, but is otherwise horrible, and vastly over priced. 0ur first room was reasonably sized, but the shower water would not turn off, the deadbolt did not work, wall paper was peeled off the walls in multiple places,etc... for $500 a night! Beyond ridiculous. ..."
