Great stay

We loved the hotel and the value. Only complaint is the loud noises at night from surrounding area.

Updated hotel with charm remaining

We were on a quick getaway from our home in the East Bay. We really enjoyed this hotel. Sonesta has modernized this older hotel, updating it but leaving a lot of its charm.
Cynthia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful but no room service …

Gorgeous small hotel, large rooms, comfy and clean. No room service after breakfast - knocks this down a star for me. Otherwise, first class place with first class staff.

Comfy stay!

We were staying here for one night for our anniversary and were very happy with the room. The staff we interacted with was super nice. The noise levels were moderate, which is expected in a city. It was easy to tune out. The only thing is there is no parking offered by the hotel, it’s about a 2 minute walk up the road to a parking garage with 24/hr security which wasn’t inconvenient, just not what we were expecting.
