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!

Smooth transition.
The room was very nice and in good order. There were some reception issues with the cable television. There was remodeling going forward on the street level. So, there was a temporary lobby. The usual lobby was closed for the remodeling. The lobby staff was especially accommodating. The remodeling was not too disruptive. There is currently no restaurant during the remodeling. Service and room remained first rate.

My four-night stay at Benjamin Sonesta in New York was largely positive. Currently under renovation, the hotel’s aged look is being refreshed. The highlight was the spacious one-bedroom suite with a functional kitchenette, accommodating four but equipped for two. Customer service was excellent, though the front desk staff, while efficient, lacked a personal touch and occasionally engaged in laughter post-guest interactions, which could be off-putting. The room’s design had its quirks, like a toilet flush hidden under the countertop and a toilet seat that wouldn’t stay up, minor yet noticeable. Despite being on the 9th floor, noise was minimal, although water pipes showed signs of air bubbles and noise. The gym was well-equipped, a plus point. The daily $10 snack and water allowance was appreciated, but the $50 daily resort charge felt excessive given the absence of typical resort amenities like a restaurant or pool. In essence, Benjamin Sonesta offers a comfortable, if not luxurious, stay in a spacious setting. It’s suitable for those looking for ample room space and a central location, though some aspects, like certain customer service elements, could be improved.
