Great location and service!

We loved the location and its convenience to two subway stations and within walking distance to Rockefeller Center. Our room was actually very quiet and we heard no street noise unless it was a fire truck. The doorman, Romeo, was fantastic! Made us feel like home our entire trip! He was so helpful when we asked for suggestions throughout our trip!

Property is located in a good area. Many food options within a short walking distance and close to the subway. My biggest complaint is the noise level. We were on the 9th floor for 5 nights. Felt like we were sleeping on the street. We had a noise machine on high and the ac on constant flow and still didn’t drown out the noise. Garbage trucks passing at 1am and fire trucks and police sirens, we heard it all. I picked this property bc it was in Midcity and it had double queen beds to accommodate my family of 4. I wouldn’t stay here again bc of the noise.

Pictures were a bit deceiving. Picked this hotel bc the room looked to be bigger than the others around, but it wasn't. Got the two queen bed room. Bathroom very small, sink shot out water Dirty behind headboards bath towels should be replaced, they seemed bery old and discolored white towels. Valet parking $75/night (no in & out)

Our stay was phenomenal. The hotel is in a very nice area, with everything you need nearby, and the atmosphere is peaceful, not the hustle and bustle of tourists in the city center. The staff was friendly, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. This will definitely be my hotel to return to in NYC. They offer breakfast and have a gym too.

The hotel was in a good location. Our stay was for 9 nights. Kitchenette was ver handy. Bathroom very small. Staff for the most part were very helpful and friendly. Street noise was very loud, we were in the 9th floor facing the street. But I guess considering where we were this is to be expected

Hands down best hotel in NYC from staff to rooms!

Most memorable hotel experience ever! We were upgraded to a spectacular room without asking, the staff was incredibly kind, it really exceeded every expectation. My tween girls will talk about this stay for years to come, you have no idea how special this was Fifty Sonesta, thank you!

The hotel was just okay. I have had better stays in the city. The first room was uncomfortably hot and the toilet kept running at random. The tv remote took extra strength and aim to work. The woman at the front desk was unhelpful. They did move our room the next night so that we had working air conditioning but the shower smelled of mildew. Not many options in the sundry. The bellhop was very nice. Rooms were spacious and accommodated our family of six comfortably.
