Great value for a very decent hotel

This is the second review of Sonesta in 2 days. This particular hotel was upgraded and in a better condition than the “Orange County Airport” Sonesta. The bed and pillows were better than in hotels double the price. Truly delightfully comfy after a long day. This hotel chain is for super practical people who want a comfortable clean suite but don’t need too many fancy amenities. Location is boring in a rather industrial area and unfortunately surrounded by fast food places. Great value for a very decent stay. Breakfast was the only thing I missed.

Location for what we needed to do in the area. - The kitchen utensils could be improved; rusted or dull kitchen knifes. - No frypan(?) - No one in the reception oriented to the fact that they have small appliances a guest could use during stay: Blender, juicer, etc 🙁

Arlene was amazing, I booked the wrong type of room and she helped me beyond expectations. I would definitely stay here again with my girls. Room was awesome. Wish they had lotion in the bathroom and trashcan but other then that it was a really good bank for your buck.

Good value, nice clean room

Loved the full-sized fridge, and the bathroom felt large, as did the whole place. Only slight cons: I did have a ground floor unit with large windows opening up into the parking lot, which made me a bit nervous about keeping them closed all the time. And most of the light bulbs were flourescent, which is a pet peeve of me, although some were LED. But the bed was comfy, the stay was quiet, and most importantly everything seemed clean. Would recommend for the area.
