The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was quiet and in a good location. The staff was fine but not super welcoming. The rooms were clean and roomy and updated. The continental breakfast was limited to packaged muffins and green apples and boxed orange juice and coffee. Best to skip it. Water bottles each day in the room was nice. The shower water pressure was great and plenty of hot water. I would stay here again."
