While not quite up to the level of the Sofitels in Chicago or NYC, overall I would recommend staying here. Our suite was roomy and nicely appointed and the location of the hotel cannot be beat, an easy walk or cab ride to everything you want to see...a few minor quibbles however...The suites in NYC and Chicago have true soaker sized tubs, not the case here, our tub was a regular small sized one. Our room also had some piping for heat or ac in a panel in the bedroom, and the noise of the unit kicking on all night was proceeded by a fairly large banging noise...I think if you were a light sleeper you would find this quite distracting..One final note, the Sofitel prides itself on being a "French" hotel with a European flavor, this is certainly the case in NYC...While in the lounge I requested a Dubonnet, I was told by my server they had never heard of this drink and did not have any...a lounge in a French hotel that has not heard of Dubonnet?...rather like going to McDonalds and being told they have never heard of Coca Cola....
