Honest review

We have stayed at this same Sonesta a few times in the past and things have drastically changed. Even though the staff was nice. There was no housekeeping available, and no more complementary breakfast. The room was clean but the bathtub was in horrible condition. There is a very unsanitary slip grip lining in the tub that was peeling up and very nasty. We showered with flip flops on. Unfortunately we will no longer be choosing this hotel to stay at for future business/ conventions/ or personal events.
