I had been searching for a place with easy subway access to midtown Manhattan and with reasonable price. This Sonder is perfect, I am so happy I chose this hotel for our first visit to NYC in Aug. You know, for $190/night, you could not find a decent hotel in Manhattan (or if you could, it would be a bunk bed room with no in-unit bathroom or an extremely old and stinky room in Chinatown).
The room is spotless clean, very new, full length window looking to the city, all are just as in the photo. The beds are comfortable. There are microwave and mini fridge in the room. There are also a hot-cold water dispenser in the lobby where you could fill your bottle (water from faucet in the room is safe to drink though).
There are several patios but we love the one on 8th floor where we have the city view by night.
Traveling to Manhattan and all over the city is like a breeze: from hotel, turn left, walk 5mins to Queensboro station, only 15 mins to Timesquare!
Only 1 thing to concern: the glass door in the bathroom is just a half, so when showering, water could splashing all over thw floor. I have reported this concern to the hotel, hope they will fix it soon.
Bonus tips: if you are NYC first time visitors, buy 7 days unlimited Metro card and New York Day Sightseeing pass. These are huge savings. You could travel throughout the citu with subway system, which is easy to use.
