The staff were super friendly, my daughter loved them. Everything was very clean. Internet was a little slow, but that's typical of hotels. Pool was nice, there's a sauna that doesn't work, but no sign to indicate that it doesn't work. That would be my only complaint and it is very minor. Very happy with my stay while we were there.

Price Gouge!

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!!!

Front desk received me promptly and had answers to all of my questions. Many food options nearby. I was able to leave my car in their lot for a full week for a small fee, way less than the airport parking. No shuttle but an Uber ride was only $15. Very happy!
