During my recent trip to New York, I had the opportunity to explore Sonesta’s property, which I was initially drawn to because of its luxury hotel advertising and strong ratings. The location is indeed excellent, making it a great base for exploring the city. However, I found that certain aspects of my experience could be enhanced. While the hotel is clean, I noticed that both the room and the overall property felt a bit dated and could benefit from a modernization effort. Our room was situated on the 9th floor, and unfortunately, it faced an internal courtyard, resulting in limited natural light, which affected the overall ambiance. For the same price you could find a better place to stay

We spent one night at the Shelbourne Sonesta. It's an excellent location - really nice. The staff was very gracious and lovely, the room was very clean. I don't know if it's NYC specific, but the room was 76 degrees and there was nothing that could be done about it. I'm shorting them a star based on heat prostration.

We liked everything about this hotel. The rooftop bar was a wonderful spot with clear views of the Empire State and Chrysler buildings. The bar/ café below was very good and had great options. Our room was dark with no natural light which can be a plus for some, but the kitchenette was a welcome upgrade!

Insects in the bathroom, tub was dirty and hair was on one of the towels. When trying to call room service instead of using the online ordering they never picked up. On my last day the power was out expect for the bathroom which was an inconvenience for packing/ charging my electronics. When trying to call guess services to let them know the button on the phone did not work - I had to go downstairs to let them know. Before my stay I called ahead to make sure I had a window view, if not I was willing to upgrade. They said yes but of course I did not. Also please let housekeeping know to wait for a response instead of knocking just once and opening the door. An asian lady did just that on 11/11 around 11:50 am in room 210. Overall I will not be booking a stay in the future with this hotel.
