5-Star Review: A Hidden Gem in Midtown East – Perfect for Families! 🌟 From the moment we walked into The Benjamin Royal Sonesta, I knew we chose the right place. The staff were incredibly friendly, warm, and inviting — the kind of genuine hospitality that immediately puts you at ease, especially when you’re traveling alone with three kids. The atmosphere felt like stepping back into a refined 1920s New York, with a classy, old-New-York charm that made the whole stay feel special. The location could not have been more perfect. Our corner was calm, safe, and easy to navigate — not overly busy or chaotic. We were right beside the New York Luncheonette and Smith & Wollensky, which made meals effortless. And despite how peaceful the area was, it was still an easy walk to Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Saks, and Central Park. Truly the best of both worlds. Our suite was incredibly spacious — a rare find in Manhattan. We had two large rooms, a kitchenette, two big screen TVs, beautiful windows that opened for fresh air, and everything was spotless. Housekeeping was amazing; when we ran out of toothpaste, they brought it up immediately with a smile. The hotel restaurant deserves its own praise. We were running late for the Harry Potter Broadway show, and they still managed to prepare fresh meals for all four of us in under eight minutes. That level of service is above and beyond. Every part of our stay felt cared for, easy, and safe. As a mom traveling solo with kids, that m

Nice room and amenities and location. Room cleaning was good, but a little infrequent. Might have to remind the desk to have them clean your room if you leave in the afternoon.

Be aware that they will NOT credit your stay on rewards points with Sonesta - and they charge for absolutely everything - internet - water - grossly petty charges for a “premium” hotel

One of the dirtiest room I have been in for some time. We reported the issues to front desk but it was still dirty with different types of hair throughout the room
We saw hair all over our carpet and brought it to the attention of the front desk and they assured me it will be cleaned with a brush. We get back to our room that evening and this is what was still there.
This is the carpet hard to see some angles but it was all over the room in multiple spots

I usually stay in a different area in NYC but I decided to switch it up this time. I am not happy that I did. We walked in and the front desk people were unkind. The room size is good but the bathroom was dirty. When I left my credit card was charged with a large amount with charges I had no idea about. I will not return to this hotel and I encourage everyone to find different accommodations when visiting NYC.
