Very nice stay. Family members were also staying and we had a great time together in NYC.
Mike, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall a very good hotel. Only four stars as the AC never cooled it off.
Anthony, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Unexpected level of service and style.

Our stay was great. The hotel was much better than we anticipated, from the service to general atmosphere - it was a great stay for us.
Robert, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay in NYC. The Sonesta Shelburne is a wonderful hotel located to many major attractions. The staff was wonderful from the check in to the Valet team. The room was spacious and quiet. The AC was powerful and the housekeeping team did a wonderful job.
Chris, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fun for a family stay

Overall a good place to stay. Good value and good room size. It was a plus that 2 queen beds were available per room. Downsides were the location, a little too far off the beaten path and the condition of the rooms. Drawers were very worn and warped and there was trash in the room upon check in

Beautiful room, great location

Everything clicked during my stay! The room was clean and spacious. Looked brand new; comfortable bed. My husband loved the location [Starbucks and other casual places nearby}. Felt very safe. Great staff. Minor downside: The bathroom was awkwardly positioned and might have been a former closet. Also, not a fan of having to call to get ice brought to room.

Dominic, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location was perfect for sightseeing, walking distance to Empire State Building and Grand Central Station. I was traveling with my young son and I felt very safe. The beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. Bathroom did not have a lock, which was a little peculiar. We appreciated the restaurant next door to order breakfast and loved the rooftop bar. Staff were friendly too.

Murray Hill hotel

Great location easily walkable to subways and Grand Central. Rooms are very spacious for NYC standards. Village Green rooftop bar is gorgeous and fun cocktail menu! We didn’t receive housekeeping while we were there but not sure if it was by request only. Welcome amenities for my friend’s BD was a nice touch. Room feels a little dated but bed was very comfortable and room was especially quiet. Bell staff was always super helpful with directions and taxi retrieval.
