Overall, not that great. The staff were super nice. But the facility itself wasn’t that great. The bathroom sink kept clogging. The mattress appeared to be about 20 years old, an entire one side was caved in. I don’t think I would stay there again.

I was at Sonesta for almost a month. The day staff is excellent. They knew me by name even though I rarely went in more than once a week. They were very attentive to my needs. At 1 point my blow-dryer broke and within a half an hour someone knocked on the door and gave me a new one. My microwave started smelling like it was burning and as soon as the maintenance person came in, he replaced it. Everything was clean. Breakfast was good. It is a residential hotel so everything you need in the kitchen is there including a dishwasher. I was there over Thanksgiving and although there is not an oven I found recipe for Turkey breast on the stove. Absolutely everything I needed.

The staff was very nice and very helpful. Went to watch my daughter graduated from the Navy. The staff set up a TV for people that could not go in person to watch. I would highly recommend this place to other families.
