“Serious maintenance issues”

Dec 08, 2025Max K

Perhaps there was something particularly bad about the room I was in, but there were a lot of issues. In the hallway they are auto-spraying some sort of scented air freshener, which makes me suspicious that they are trying to hide the scent of mold. I’ve never seen another hotel do that. The thermostat is wildly wrong. It said it was 66 degrees in the room when it was about 76, meaning it turned on the heat and kept it running when the room was already quite hot. The way the knobs work in the shower is wildly confusing. You actually have to force one handle _over_ another to fully turn on the shower. The temperature control is extremely confusing (and I have stayed in lots of hotels, so I’m not a newbie to this). Plus the shower head was slimy to the touch and sprayed water in semi-random directions. I also think the exhaust fan in the room isn’t working. The TV says you can select “Menu” to see hotel amenities or watch movies, but neither the Menu nor the Guide work—they just say “Not Available” when you press them. The towel rack was halfway falling off the wall, in my bathroom. The bathroom is pretty tiny, too. These are all just things I discovered in the first day I was in the hotel. On the plus side, the room is pretty spacious for a NYC hotel. The bed is nice. The lobby is beautiful and the staff are friendly.

“Spoiling good reviews”

Nov 24, 2025su h

A lovely hotel, rooms spotless, customer service amazing, especially Romeo and the lady on reception( didn’t get her name) , staff so helpful and polite. Now for the negative part, been home almost a month and like other people on here still haven’t received our deposit back, despite emailing twice requesting this. Come on Sonesta this is spoiling your reviews!!!

“Sonesta Hotels provided 3 great stays!”

Nov 20, 2025Amychaddylan

I just returned to Los Angeles after another great stay at a Sonesta hotel. I so enjoyed the Garden Sonesta on E. 64th St. for two amazing visits to New York City in the past year. But my travel plans were focused more midtown this time, as I had two weddings to go to. One was in Brooklyn and one was in Queens. My travel agent told me she has another client who ALWAYS stays at the Fifty Sonesta and that I’d like it too. She knows that I’m very particular. The Fifty Sonesta was perfectly located down the street from the midtown tunnel - allowing me to get to Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, Greenpoint, and Queens quickly, inexpensively, and happily. Relatives staying on the Upper West Side spent $90 and over an hour getting to the rehearsal dinner and it took me 15 minutes. The staff at the Fifty Sonesta couldn’t have been nicer. From Marissa at the front desk, to Ibraham, who was there Saturday night, to Simon and Eric- safety and security were their priority. I often consider getting apartment in the city to have did my visits, but Sonesta has hotels with full kitchens and terraces and space to meet with clients. My room was spacious and clean, it had a coffee machine, a refrigerator, and tons of closet space and counter space in the bathroom for all of my things. Both of these Sonesta hotels that I’ve stayed at are close to subways, delicious restaurants, sightseeing, and they’re easy to get a cab or Uber whenever you need one. Even the other guests in the hotel were friendly in the elevators. This hotel even has a laundry room. I noticed on another review that somebody mentioned the laundry so I went down there to see it and it was great. I’m so happy that I found Sonesta hotels because the customer service is top-notch. It’s a great value and it’s very safe.
