Every year we travel to nyc in December. We usually stay at the Lexington Autograph hotel. This year we booked too late so decided to try this hotel. Everything was good until check out. The hotel allows 2 bottles of waters per day. Me and my intellectually disabled daughter stayed for 4 days. We utilized only 2 waters the entire stay. Upon checkout i requested a free bottle of water. The gentleman that checked us out stated I would be charged for the bottle of water. Seriously?!!! You lost this customer over a bottle of water.

5 Star Experience in Central New York
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Sonesta, specifically service, front desk, door, and luggage room personnel were very kind and helpful. Location of hotel is in the center and Grand Central is within walking distance. There are not many downsides. Only downside I can recall is elevator is a bit old and maybe it can have update in future, other was close 5 star experience.

Santa con !
Room was nice , wall paper was peeling off at entry , ice in ice machine was old and stuck in a block, shower head was in disrepair meaning more water ran out the bottom than on you, only two pillow per bed and not the same ones as far as firmness, the heat was so dry we all had sore throats and one bloody nose. The 97 charge for two drinks/ snacks a day and use of exercise equipment even though I didn’t want it was just a flat out scam. Other than that is was okay.

Hotel was in a quiet neighborhood with restaurants were close by. Loved the rooftop bar - didn’t try the restaurant but it is great to have on on-site. Didn’t like the resort fee - felt that didn’t have value - but overall price per night was very good and I was very happy with this hotel.

We didn't sleep a wink here-the street was so noisy and the fan was rattling all night. The pillows are strangely tiny, and the bed was hard. They charged us an extra $100 for early check-in, which doesn't seem fair if the room is ready anyway.
