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.

Nice hotel.

Nice hotel. Great location. Lovely staff. I didn’t much like the restaurant in the hotel, though the staff there was very nice. Great rooftop bar but it gets very crowded. There is a $30 hotdog on the menu! I didn’t order it. Oddly enough the raw oysters which I did order were quite reasonably priced.
