The lobby was very hot, the room was hot when we first got there and had a bad/ old smell. The room did eventually cool down but the mildew smell stayed. The pool water was green so no one went for a swim. The breakfast was horrible so we threw that away and went pickup food. However the shower had wonderful water pressure and well stocked with body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. The hotel seems to be in a safe area with lots of restaurants and shopping close by

Good experience minus the closed pool
Overall our experience was great. The pool was closed, which was a little disappointing being that i sort of booked this hotel so the kids could swim.
Staff was friendly.

It was a great one night stay for a concert away from home. The first desk was so respectful, kind, & attentive to all guests I saw her in contact with. Now, cleanliness, besides the make-up handprint stains all on the bathroom door & not vacuumed floor. Everything seems to be clean. The bed was comfortable but please work on the air ventilation in the elevator & the hallways of the hotels as it was extremely hot in those areas.

We were traveling through and stopped to spend the night. As we looked through the list of hotels, Sonesta was affordable and the reviews were great.
We found this hotel to be very clean, the room was very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. We would highly recommend this hotel!

First time at this property. Asked for a king room that was not rented to animals and was very pleased with cleanliness and all aspects of my room. I will a little concerned about required damage deposit, but that was not charged to my room after checkout, so I will definitely stay again and recommend.
