Left room late one morning. Our room hadn't been cleaned when we left. The do not disturb placard was on the door. When we exited the room the cleaning cart was parked right across from our room. On the way out of the hotel we stopped at the front desk and asked for a refresh of our room. In fact we had to ask the front desk 4 times before there was any action taken. When we returned at the end of the night. fresh towels where thrown on the floor in front of our door and the dirty towels were left behind on the floor. Si in fact our room was never cleaned or refreshed.

The hotel was great. Dining options were ok and bars outside were very nice. Only had two issues…a leaking shower and getting out of the parking garage. The room key never worked for the garage. Other than those two items I highly recommend this hotel.

Don’t think we will be returning here.

Check-in was easy but once we got to our floor, we noticed maintenance was in the room next to ours (further down the hallway). Upon entering our room, we noticed that there was a smell coming from the bathroom and the sink was backed up with black residue all on the bottom of the bowl. The toilet also flushed so hard that water burst over the seat and onto the floor. My husband had to go back to the front desk to ask to move us. Our new room was fine, and clean, but I feel like management should be communicating to the front desk about issues they’re having. I also feel like if your hotel has parking, it should be included in your room rate. As far as this hotel goes, I think we can find better accommodations in the city and surrounding areas.

A male at reception called Richard is a racist. He doesn't deserve any more time from me to type here, but you would know why I'm here if you talked with him. I already reported him and I won't be in Sonesta again before I heard any news on him being laid off or died. Sonesta, you lost a loyal customer just because of him.

PROS: It was a nice hotel, clean, and with a beautiful view. Staff was all very kind and professional. Pool was great. hotel restaurant has a great menu and value. CONS: parking was expensive, room although upgraded was not worth the upgrade price at all. No clear water view from the 3ed floor despite paying for the upgrade.
