For New York, our room with two double beds was the largest we've ever had! The main lobby was under construction, but they didn't miss a beat. Comfy beds, a refrigerator and microwave, coffee maker, nice bathroom, and a credit for snack purchase. Great, friendly staff. Highly recommended!

The staff is so lovely and accommodating, the location is ideal, close to mass transit and very walkable with so many restaurants close by. I loved having a little kitchenette that was well appointed. The room was comfortable and large by New York City standard

The Benjamin Royal Sonesta is in a great location in Midtown East. You are a couple minute walk to multiple subway stations which makes it very easy to get around NYC. The staff at the desk were very friendly and always helped us out very quickly. When we arrived we wanted an extra sheet and pillow and they had them in the room when we returned. It is an older hotel but we loved it. It was clean and we loved having a refrigerator, a sink and microwave in the room. A king sized bed was also very nice in NYC. When we left we dropped our bags and they scheduled our black suv to take us to the airport. Everyone was always very nice. We would highly recommend the hotel and would stay there again.

Third time here. Love this spot. Great staff! Renovation could be reason for needing 10 minutes to get hot water. Little bit of an annoyance, but overall this property is a 5!
