"I've stated at the Empire Hotel twice and will continue to do so. The hotel itself isn't in the best condition but i would say it's good. If you're looking for high-end luxury, this would not be the hotel. Though there is a rooftop restaurant/bar, there is no in-room dining because the hotel doesn't have a kitchen.
