This hotel was just ok - it served the purpose of sleeping and showering. Lots of places nearby to grab a drink and food. However, furnishings were old. Drawers on cabinet would not stay closed and the inside refrigerator cabinet was damaged making the refrigerator wobble. The absolute worst thing (and stay would’ve been much better if this problem was cleared up) is there was a strong chemical odor throughout the facility that was worse in the room and hallway. Smelled to us like bug spray. That made the stay very uncomfortable.

The staff is wonderful. Continental breakfast was amazing and fresh! I can't explain it in words, but I felt like family welcoming me to my stay. When I didn't need room service but asked for towels and a few replenishments, they were Johnny on the spot with them. I am so used to other properties having their staff roll their eyes and give me such a hard time about these same requests. It's like pulling teeth with other hotels. But not HERE!!! Sonesta was the best hotel I could choose with the best rates and service in my opinion!!!

Never again

The hallways smelled like bug spray, wall paper was peeling off the walls, rust all over in the bathroom. Not very many plugs to charge phone. Both nights kids above us ran around making so much noise, on the second night ended up calling down to see if they could get the people to stop, and they just called back saying they couldn’t reach the room. It was miserable unable to get any good sleep.
