Everything was great with one exception, during our stay there was toddler swimming classes being taught in the pool. My kids went down to the pool multiple times but were told they couldn’t swim because the pool was being used for swim classes. They were finally able to swim at 10:00pm. Why advertise a pool when it can’t be used by the hotel guests.

While the pool was heated, it was not being properly filtered and the result was a thin film of scum on the top. The water itself, looking down into the pool, was extremely cloudy. This was as of approximately 9 am, an hour after the pool opened. Another guest at the time shared our view.

Sonesta MD Review

Breakfast was a pay as you go and quite expensive and hours very limited. All three nights were noisy due to ongoing repairs and very loud and unruly young teens running in the halls. People at the counter were very courteous and helpful but overall we would not be inclined to return.

Great location and pet-friendly!

Great hotel in a very nice area of town with lots of dining and shopping options, and close to DC and Baltimore. Great for traveling with pets, especially if you stay on the ground floor with the patio slider access to the courtyard to take your dog out! Will stay again!
