Hotel was in a quiet neighborhood with restaurants were close by. Loved the rooftop bar - didn’t try the restaurant but it is great to have on on-site. Didn’t like the resort fee - felt that didn’t have value - but overall price per night was very good and I was very happy with this hotel.

We didn't sleep a wink here-the street was so noisy and the fan was rattling all night. The pillows are strangely tiny, and the bed was hard. They charged us an extra $100 for early check-in, which doesn't seem fair if the room is ready anyway.

During my recent trip to New York, I had the opportunity to explore Sonesta’s property, which I was initially drawn to because of its luxury hotel advertising and strong ratings. The location is indeed excellent, making it a great base for exploring the city. However, I found that certain aspects of my experience could be enhanced. While the hotel is clean, I noticed that both the room and the overall property felt a bit dated and could benefit from a modernization effort. Our room was situated on the 9th floor, and unfortunately, it faced an internal courtyard, resulting in limited natural light, which affected the overall ambiance. For the same price you could find a better place to stay
