We had another wonderful stay & will continue to come back to this hotel. Stayed overnight to see the tree and stores on 5th Ave. the 50 sonesta is in a perfect walkable distance to so much. The staff is amazing from greeting you at the front door, check in, helpful with directions/suggestions and the room was immaculate & spacious. Every time I stay here I have a great visit and feel extremely safe. Thank you again

50 Sonesta was a perfect place for our holiday trip to NYC. Close to all the spots of importance. We were amazed at the size of the room and the comfort afforded us during our stay. Having coffee and juice in our kitchenette was perfect. I usually choose their sister property in the 30s but this was special. People were great at check in as were the door staff.

The staff was kind and friendly. Parking was a breeze, the location of the hotel is an easy walk to many main areas of the city. The rooms were clean and had helpful accommodations in the kitchen. Within the junior apartment there was a microwave, sink, fridge, plates, cups, utensils,coffee machine, saucepan, toaster, and a two burner gas stove. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will gladly return.

The location is great however our room faced the street that meant we heard every siren, every horn, every car engine all night long. Our mattress was horrible, sank in the middle and felt every coil on our back. When we asked for a different mattress we were told there weren’t any available yet they said we could pack all of our stuff up and switch rooms. How they couldn’t switch mattresses with an empty room is beyond me. Also we were told we had a $10 credit to use at a snack station adjacent to the front desk. That would’ve been nice if there were actually snacks…all that was there were a couple of pretzels bags and a bag of Doritos and a Red Bull. It’s not like we got those $10 back yet there was nothing to use those $10 on. I would’ve expressed my opinion of the room at checkout however the person at the front desk didn’t even look at us or ask us about our stay. Just printed our receipt and not even a goodbye. Would NOT stay here again.

Well located and nice service. The rooms have a decent size for Ny standards The hotel has not been updated in the past couple of years. Could use a “facelift” But I’ll definitely stay here again if needed to stay in the area
