Relaxing stay, in superb location. Recommend Eddie V’s for brilliant seafood, on Prospect Street. 10

Great location. Friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable, quiet room on top floor

Letting me know, up front, that parking on street was fine, and where to park. They could consider having shuttle from hotel, and could charge $10. I had to pay $60 for taxi

Good location, basic hotel

Reasonable rate. Rooms were decent and clean, yet a bit worn. Valets and front desk staff were friendly.

Wear and tear apparent in the bathroom. Musty smell in the lobby. Many front desk staff seemed inexperienced & casual - didnt go over basic amenities or offer guide recommendations. No other amenities offered at hotel. Door to bathroom was like a closet door & lacked privacy as you could hear everything.

Overall good location, walking distance to village restaurants and shops.

Location, pets allowed

Had to pay for self park. Pet fee was charged by the day. $30 first 3 days, $10 thereafter. Stay was 4 nights so fee was higher than I usually pay, which is usually a flat fee. Smells from restaurant came up to 2nd floor room. View from room was of next building- not so nice

Very good

The Empress Hotel is in an ideal location. Once you park your car, you can walk everywhere! The staff is friendly and accommodating and the rooms are attractive and comfortable.

Our room, Room 207, was over a part of the on-site restaurant's kitchen that was extremely noisy until around 10:20PM. We called the front desk who said that they couldn't do anything about it because the restaurant was a leased space and that the noise had been an issue in that room before. We felt that we should have been forewarned so that we could have made our own decision about accepting that room or it should have been discounted somewhat from the $400 a night fee.

It wasn’t good

Room was filthy carpets and bedding also so gross Beds were just horrible ! My back and neck are still hurting . Changed rooms to the 5th floor. Air conditioning didn’t cool room . Our beds were not made up when housekeeping came in to tidy up. Very disappointed as I stayed at the Empress for many years and even sent family and friends there when I lived on Eads. Definitely changed and not for the better.

Filthy carpets dirty linens and beds were horrible need firm mattress not sunken in ones Pillows also just dirty Just horrible and my daughter woke up with a bubble under her eye from the dirty linens.
