AKA Sutton Place — Hotel in New York

After a bad AirBNB experience, my wife and I started looking for another extended stay location. On our list of places to visit was AKA Sutton Place. It's near the 59th Street Bridge and Roosevelt Island Tram. This was an area we were unfamiliar with. It's located at 330 E 56th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues. This is a tree lined street within 3 blocks of Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, TJ Max, Duane Reed/Walgreen, Morton Williams an upscale grocery store and the Eastside Esplanade walking/riding area on the East River. It's a full neighborhood with barber shops, beauty salons, bodegas, restaurants, liquor stores and almost anything can be delivered to |AKA.||Once we entered the lobby and met Ernie our decision was made. Ernie was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He has now been with AKA for 18 years. He explained the facility, the amenities (pool, workout room, lobby/lounge) and took us on a tour. It was like we had been friends for years. This is how we felt with all of the staff. In June 2024 we spent our third 30 day stay. We have already booked June 2025.||The staff (Ernie, Manuela, Francisco, Jorge, John, Ana and housekeeping and engineering)) made us feel so comfortable and at easy with every stay. They are each so familiar with NYC it's like having a personal, human source of information. The AKA has 1 and 2 bedroom units with one or two bathrooms. There is Wi-Fi service. There are computers and a printed in a small business center in the lobby. ||Though the kitchen (stove, micro wave and full refrigerator) is sparsely stocked it is adequate for two. In the past we have FedExed packages in advance of our stay, if we needed extra items. For example there is no DVD player or Streaming services. So we have brought a DVD player and our Amazon Fire stick.||You can schedule weekly housekeeping. And if you need it, there is a temperature controlled wine cellar. The subway station at Lexington and 3rd Avenue is about three blocks from the AKA. From that station the subway can get you to any place on Manhattan as well as Brooklyn and Coney Island. Taxis are easily available on 1st or 2nd Avenue and Uber is also available.||AKA Sutton Place has all you'll need or want for a wonderful...

We stayed at AKA Sutton Place for 3 months while in New York for medical treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering. We couldn't have asked for a better place to call home during that time. Sheila, in reservations, made booking our suite very easy, she was easy to communicate with responsive to our needs. From the moment we arrived the staff treated us like family.| A special thank you to Anna, Ernie, Francisco, Jamarl, John, Jorge, Noel, and Spencer who were kind, attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and supported. | Our suite was spacious, spotless and well maintained with all of the amenities we needed for an extended stay. It was the perfect combination of comfort, elegance and convenience.|The location was ideal, its a hidden gem in the city. It is close to hospitals, markets & restaurants. Memorial Sloan Kettering has a shuttle stop steps away from the AKA Sutton Place entrance. We enjoyed the peace & charm of AKA Sutton Place while still being just minutes away from all the action and necessities of Midtown Manhattan. We loved taking daily walks around the area including the East River promenade and of course near by Central Park.|Our experience at AKA Sutton Place was exceptional in every way, and we are deeply grateful to the entire team for making our long stay not only manageable, but genuinely comfortable and welcoming. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone in need of an extended stay in...
