We liked this clean hotel with a nice lobby. The staff were accommodating and pretty friendly too. Easy access to LaGuardia airport, which was about 16 minutes' drive away.

The personnel was attentive and helpful. The hotel was set in a central area just off the theater district and the surrounding area and the metro and Times Square. Also, it was near for visiting a private library.

    We had an excellent stay at this venue. The location is ideal; right behind a major transportation hub and close to all the important sites in Manhattan, yet on a relatively quiet street in a very nice area. Our room had great amenities, including a in-room desk and a flat-screen TV. The staff were also helpful, providing us with wake-up service and dining recommendations. The exercise gym and wheelchair accessibility were added bonuses.

    rooms were super clean, and the location was awesome – close to grand central station - bars, and restaurants. the staff was so helpful - even stowed away our luggage after check-out. and can't forget the complimentary wine reception at 5pm - perfect after a day of sightseeing! definitely recommend.

    Convenient location near popular attractions and public transportation. Spacious and comfortable one-bedroom apartment with a terrace to relax on. The kitchen in the apartment was a bonus.

    Dismissive and unhelpful staff, especially at check-in, who were not attentive to customer needs. Overcharging and incorrect billing, adding to the frustration of the experience.

    This hotel had a convenient location, close to Midtown attractions and within walking distance to many sites in the city. The rooms were clean and spacious, equipped with great cardio equipment and a restaurant on site that served delicious food. The staff was friendly and accommodating, always willing to help with any requests.

    One staff member lacked basic customer service skills, making the experience less enjoyable.

    Loved exploring the Murray Hill neighborhood with its Nordic culture, cozy bars, and delicious food. The hotel had all the perks of living in NYC and the design captured the hustle and beat of the area.

    Oh, and who needs their requests answered or a clean room anyway? Cheers to dirty lamps and mystery chicken!

    The rooms were HUGE, which was awesome for our group. Plus, the location was super convenient. We could easily hop on a train or bus to check out St Vartan Park or catch a live improv show. We even enjoyed a delicious holiday breakfast at Jeannie's - it was so lit!

    The only thing we wished for was a better party scene at the hotel for young folks like us. A cooler hangout spot with more activities would've been dope.

    Very spacious suite, comfortable furniture (except the sofa bed). Excellent location. Ideal to discover the city.

    While the Queen size bed was very comfortable in the bedroom, the sofa in the suite on which my son had to sleep was CATASTROPHIC (spring mattress much too thin)! Serious back pain ! He ended up sleeping on the floor, which is the worst thing in such a beautiful hotel ! No heating from the 10th of April, the day of our arrival and yet it can still be quite cold on that date. We were brought a small auxiliary heating after three days and blankets.

    Located on Lexington Avenue, it's noisy! The double glazing is average! I also compare it to the Affinia Garden hotel which is quieter...

    I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was perfect - right next to the Central Station and very close to the city center. It was away from the throng of midtown but still centrally located, making it easy to get to all the major sites in this city. The hotel facilities were great, and the room was very clean and spacious. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable.

    Nothings.

    We really liked the hotel, its design, the size of the rooms, very pleasant for a week's stay . The staff is efficient, welcoming and pleasant. The location of the establishment is also perfect for those who want to visit Downtown Manhattan.

    The sound insulation with the outside can be surprisingly low, . The bathroom "in" the bedroom separated by a sliding door was less appreciated, little privacy.

    The hotel's decor was elegant and inviting, with beautiful common areas that were filled with comfortable seating, making it easy for senior guests to relax and socialize. It was lovely to see the classic art pieces displayed throughout the hotel, which added a touch of sophistication to the atmosphere. Additionally, the hotel's accessibility for senior people was impressive, with spacious and well-lit hallways and easy-to-navigate elevators, ensuring a comfortable stay for older guests.

    I would have appreciated a few more assistance options for senior guests, such as offering extra support with luggage or providing clearer signage in the hallways.

The room was spacious and clean, with a comfortable in-room desk and a flat-screen TV. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We also enjoyed the on-site dining options. this place exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend it.

    I recently stayed at The Shelburne Sonesta for a weekend getaway. The room was surprisingly spacious for New York City standards, with a separate kitchen area equipped with a microwave, small fridge, and sink. The wait for the elevators was short, and the hotel is conveniently located near a Pret a Manager and within walking distance to Grand Central Station. The staff were extremely helpful and courteous, even waiving the high internet fee and quickly providing allergenic pillows and dishes upon request. Plus, we had a neat corner balcony with a stunning view of the Empire State Building.

    I do recommend this hotel.

    I recently stayed at a hotel in a very convenient location, just a short Uber ride away from popular attractions like Central Park, Times Square, and Rockefeller Center. The staff at Sonesta was fantastic, and they even valeted my car to the parking garage, saving me the hassle of finding a spot. I was pleasantly surprised to find full-size bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower, which was a great touch. The room, especially room 909, was spacious and well-equipped with amenities like a coffee maker, bar fridge, iron, and safe. The hotel also had a great restaurant called Rare, and I particularly enjoyed the daily credit at the lobby refreshment area. Happy hour and the rooftop bar were added bonuses, and the Wi-Fi was included. Plus, the hotel had easy access to the subway.

    Nothing, all aspects of my stay were excellent.

    We had an amazing romantic escape in NYC! The spacious room and comfortable king-sized bed were perfect for a cozy getaway. We also enjoyed the stunning views from the rooftop bar and had a delicious lunch there. The location was ideal, with delis, restaurants, and the Empire State Building within walking distance. Plus, the hotel offered a wine hour which was a nice touch.

    The only downside was the daily Facility Fee. It was stated upfront, but we found it to be an unnecessary additional cost.

    The rooms at The Shelburne were amazing! The separated living and sleeping rooms made it feel like a cozy apartment in the heart of the city. The kitchen was so convenient, and the view of the Empire State Building was breathtaking. It felt like a home away from home and made our stay in NYC even more special.

    I personally didn't love the roll-in shower in the accessible room, but I understand it's important for some guests.

    The apartment-style spaces at the hotel were like a home away from home. The modern in-room granite pantry kitchen made me feel like a master chef, and the separate living and sleeping rooms allowed for a peaceful getaway within the bustling city. It was a delightful experience.

    Pricing discrepancy at checkout.

    The spacious suites felt like a home in Murray Hill, perfect for large families like ours. The St Vartan Park right around the corner was a hit with the kids, offering wide open spaces to play and have fun. The festive breakfast at Jeannie's was a delight, with kids' activities and a Santa visit for memorable photo ops.

    My wife says that it would be great to have more kid-friendly activities or play areas for families with children.
