Clean and comfortable extended stay

The staff are so helpful and pleasant! Our room was very clean and updated from our last stay a few years ago. We had one small isle with the A/C and staff was very quick to offer a different room (we declined)and prompt repair. The fee breakfast was phenomenal- way more than anticipated. The pool was clean and well maintained. Highly recommend this property!

Overall very disappointed with my stay. Multiple issues through my stay, the TV didn’t work at all, the shower was only scalding hot so could not shower our whole trip. The pullout bed was super uncomfortable with a horrible mattress with stains. The room had a noxious cinnamon air freshener that was overwhelming and strong. For the money I paid for this stay I was incredibly disappointed and will not be staying at a Sonesta in the future. Sorry but just too many negatives coinciding with this property.

Convenient to naval base. Very appreciative that we were able to watch naval training graduation you had set up for we grandparents. Thank you so much. Key cards did not work very well at all. That definitely needs to be fixed. Had a one bedroom suite, which was nice but person sleeping on couch in living room had to come through bedroom to shower or use toilet. Also had no mirror in living room area that that could be used to apply makeup or fix hair.

They were trying to steal my money and didn’t wanna give me a room. I had to wait around for three hours to talk to my bank to let them know that the money did come out of my account, but they kept saying the money didn’t get to them and we were going back-and-forth about that for hours until at the end they just was forced to give me a room because I did pay the money as much as they say and declined it didn’t it took it out of my account including extra money I’m not sure if the lady got fired or what but I did receive all of my money back, but it was a headache the room and everything was nice and all, but when it comes to the funds very unprofessional

Nice hotel but the walls are a little bit thin, you can hear everything going on around you. From our room we had to walk outside to access the lobby. I wish this was different I’d prefer to not walk outside to enter the lobby. Staff was very nice and helpful. Bathrooms seemed like they need to be updated a bit. They also need trash cans in the bathrooms as well.
