"The room was great, for what little time we spent in it, it was a really cozy place. The bed was huge, and really comfortable, I loved how much light the place got as well, with the windows. We were slightly off put by the pictures of the place with how incredibly beige the place looked, but I can assure you it looks way better in person lol. The location is great as well, I've never been to a city this walkable, so I'm glad we picked somewhere right in the middle of it, almost every direction...

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

8/10 Good
"On te good side: Very clean, large and modern (well refreshed) room. The bed super ok. The zone is good as well. The one first lady was very helpful, the other people on staff, they are ok but it could be better. On the so-so side: That was not a breakfast. On the airplane, the quality is better. Clearly they give it just to be on paper as marketing attraction. Just don’t wake up early for that, it’s not worth it. Some noise during the night from the pipes, I assume is as much as you could change on that building. Overall, except the breakfast it’s a good choice."
