The Fifty Sonesta Select New York

Location relative to subway, groceries, and restaurants. The staff were exceptional, providing resources above and beyond normal requirements when my wife got sick and needed transportation to a local ER. Franz, at the front desk, deserves special recognition for his superior response and mobilizing the special services. All staff members we interacted with were great!

Great location, plenty of food options for kids nearby like McDonald’s and Dunkin’ Donuts one block away in a basement of a building connected to the subway with a pretty direct train to the Statue of Liberty ferry. Worth finding the Dunkin’ next to the 6 train. There was also a nice breakfast lunch spot in the same location. I saw some reviews of this hotel saying negative comments, but I think this was a great spot and it’s Manhattan what do you expect for the price. If you have a car do the valet it’s way better and probably cheaper than the park yourself options nearby.

The staff were all courteous and extremely helpful. They happily stored our bags after checkout so we could do some sightseeing before we had to leave later in the day. They were also very helpful with answering questions about navigating the subway and NJ train system as we left NYC to head for NJ and West Point. The hotel room was larger than most in NYC and clean. Not the fanciest in terms of decor but the extra space was much appreciated for our group of 5 and the finishes were nice enough relative to the value of the extra space and the room being clean which I find is a major gamble with some NYC hotels.

I asked for late check-out, they managed it for a few seconds without any extra charge. So helpful staff members.

Room is good, nothing beyond expectations Localization excelent, midtown, east side, walking distance of %th Ave, excelent restaurants Hotel Breakfast is very good, if not a complete american buffet, it goes beyond a continental one.
