Same Great Sofitel but No Lobby

I have stayed at the Sofitel so many times and truly love the location and all of the perks of this hotel. This time was a bit different though---folks should know that their lobby is under construction right now--big time---to get into the hotel is basically just this little alley through the hotel with walls up where the lobby would be. I did not hear any construction noise but the lobby is non-existent We arrived early and needed to check our bags---apparently the room where they check bags was completely full so he just put our bags by the door and gave us tickets---this concerned me as anyone could distract him and just pick up our bags---one of which had my laptop in it--so I did decide to take my backpack with me and I was super glad I did because 6 hours later when we came back there was nobody there with the bags---we waited for like 5 minutes and then just grabbed our bags and went to our room-- but I was really glad I had not left my backpack there! We were able to take our bags and could have taken any bag we wanted with nobody there. It was all fine but just concerning. Other than that the beds are so comfortable---you can't beat this location---we did have coffee in our room every morning and the loveliest lady would bring it in for us....the staff is the BEST truly---you get the royal treatment there---love it so much and totally will stay there again when I come to the city to see shows.

I have stayed the Sofitel many times. This time however the lobby was under construction and there was no where to sit downstairs. I was not told when I booked the rooms that the hotel would be under construction. The price of the room was higher than last time I stayed and I thought it should have been discounted since the hotel was under rennovation. I brought another couple with us and they were disappointed by the hotel's appearance. This was the first time they stayed there.

The staff were very well trained , friendly and courteous and I appreciate that ! The sheets and towels are high quality and the bathroom was spacious and provided nice amenities . The carpet in my room was very worn and stained however , which gave me an ick feeling I don’t expect in a hotel billed as “ luxury.” I would have appreciated a coffeemaker in the room as well. They are doing renovation on the lobby level so obviously that changed my experience and I wish I would have known because i would have chosen the Algonquin down the street for this trip ! I chose Sofitel because I wanted something a bit more special and was disappointed it was just average for the 600$+ a night we paid .

Huge disappointment...

This hotel had some sort of "computer issue" that had them suddenly overbooked. Without any prior notice before arriving, we were downgraded during check-in from our beautiful large suite to a small standard room. We had to ask multiple times for the new rate we would be paying, since the room we were in was much less expensive than the one we had pre-paid for. Finally got that sorted after much effort on our part. Had to have maintenance come up to repair the air conditioning on our 2nd night. Overall not impressed with this hotel. We have stayed here before, but will most definitely choose a different hotel next time we are in NY.
