I recently stayed at The Fifty Sonesta Hotel New York. I found the location to be incredibly convenient. It's close to midtown and Broadway, but far enough away from Times Square to avoid the crowds.

Smelled like fried food. Filthy carpets. No AC so almost died of heat in night. First room we were in smelled like mold. The best thing about this hotel was the staff. They were very kind.

Great people and location, but needs a big upgrade
I've stayed at this hotel before, but this was not the best stay. The people are great. Everyone was friendly and helpful. But the hotel could really use an upgrade. The hall was dark and dreary looking. The lobby and common areas look nice, but once you get to the residence floors, it's another story. We got almost no sleep. The room was crammed with two beds, with little room to move around them. The bathroom was about the size of a powder room with a tub/shower crammed in. There were no usable outlets by the beds. And the wiring for the reading lights on the beds were ripped out of whatever they were attached to. The beds were very... bouncy. Not exactly uncomfortable, but not particularly comfortable. And though we had asked for a higher floor, we were put on the third floor. I grew up in NYC, but the street noice was crazy, particularly the first night. Not something the hotel can control, but a higher floor would have made the noise more bearable. We tried to move up after the first night, but there was nothing available. They offered us a new room for our last night there, but we ended up leaving a day early. The location and people are fantastic. They just need to spend a little money bringing the hotel into the 20th, if not the 21st century.

Spacious Hotel in Amazing Location
Amazing location close to Rockefeller Center and the midtown holiday festivities! Comfortable clean lobby. We stayed in the two queen bed suite and it was a huge space with a kitchenette and a pull out bed as well. Will be staying here for our next NYC trip too!

Great location in the city with lots to explore in walking distance. Easy access to the subway. The room was beautiful and spotless. Comfortable beds and a nice little kitchen. The only thing I could recommend would be robes.
