Super unclean and gross!

Man, this place was a disaster! Carpet was filthy, like ew. Found stains all over the walls and hairs in the bed. Couldn't even enjoy my stay. The bar area was okay, but honestly, everything else was just nasty. And don't even get me started on the bad smells throughout. Just skip this hotel!

Room for improvement!

Checked in for a night, but what a letdown! Our room was way different than booked—no one seemed to care. The beds were unmade, and we had to wait forever for fresh bedding. On top of that, noise from a party kept us up all night. The bar area was nice, though.

The Empire hotel provided a comfortable environment for my business needs. The room was clean, and I appreciated the efficient Wi-Fi and 24-hour reception services. the staff was very accommodating when I required assistance with transportation during my stay. The breakfast selection was quite varied, featuring fresh fruits and pastries, which made my mornings more pleasant.

A minor inconvenience was the limited lift access.

disgusting condition

The stay was marked by a disgustingly foul odor throughout the establishment and poorly maintained facilities, including a wet room with tape around the toilet area and damaged emergency lighting. it was conveniently located just a short drive from the hospital, which was a priority for us. The free parking was a definite plus, but the overall lack of cleanliness and maintenance made for an unpleasant experience.
