We stayed for 7 days in September — our first time in the States and NYC. Couldn’t find a good price in Manhattan, so we tried this aparthotel. I was a bit worried at first, but honestly, I’m so glad we chose this over Manhattan. The location is amazing: just steps from the subway, 5–10 minutes into Manhattan. The area was quiet and clean, with a 24/7 retro diner right across (we even caught some filming!), a bodega nearby, plenty of coffee shops, Target/Trader Joe’s, and halal carts within walking distance. Perfect for first-timers or anyone wanting convenience. Prices can rise during peak periods, but we got a great deal. As an aparthotel, we didn’t really encounter staff in the building, but we noticed someone guarding the reception downstairs at all times if needed. Customer service before our stay was excellent — all our questions were answered promptly through the Sonder app. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and quiet — ideal for a couple. We loved the old-school minimal style. Amenities were perfect, with everything we needed, and if we ran short, we could restock using the cool cabinet in the lobby. The building is small and simple, and we had no issues. We would stay here again and again if the price was right. If not, we’ll definitely choose a Sonder property elsewhere — it was an incredible stay.

Had a fantastic stay at Court Square LIC, NYC. The location is super convenient — just a short walk from the subway, making it easy to get into Manhattan while still enjoying a quieter neighborhood. The room was clean, modern, and very comfortable. Loved the self check-in experience — smooth and hassle-free. The common areas were well maintained, and everything felt thoughtfully designed. What stood out most was the overall value for money. You get a great stay experience without paying Manhattan prices. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting NYC for work or leisure, and I’d happily stay here again on my next trip.
