Loved by The Benjamin Royal Sonesta New York Hotel guests
"The bed was the real show stopper - great pillows and incredibly comfortable, and since I was only here one night for business, that's all I really cared about anyway."
"The kitchen in the room with full size fridge and microwave was a huge bonus especially with the plates and cutlery too."
"Very central, very spacious, good old-fashioned quality fittings especially in the bathroom, balcony with spectacular views"

comfortable beduseful fridgenice robeslimited spacemissing hooksair conditioner
The hotel had a convenient mini fridge, which I found useful. The provided robes were a nice touch. The shower worked well!!!
I noticed the bathroom lacked sufficient counter space. Hanging towels was difficult because the bathroom had no hooks. My room faced the air conditioning unit. This resulted in a less than ideal view.

outdated bathroompoor view
i was a bit disappointed with the room setup. the kitchenette lacked essential items like a table and chairs (i really needed a place to eat). also, the bathroom felt outdated and small considering the room size. the view from my window was not great, mostly overlooking an office building, and the street noise was noticeable, even though i requested a quiet room (i guess it is very hard to avoid noise in this city).
