"We'll be back"

We needed a comfortable place to stay close to NYU while recovering from surgery. The Sonesta was clean, had pleasant and helpful staff, had comfortable and quiet accommodations and had a restaurant on sight. The prices are reasonable for NYC and the location is convenient. Special shout out to Adam who brought all of our luggage to our room and cared for our new car during our stay.
