Fantastic breakfast, loads of choice. Very helpful and friendly staff. Fully equipped spacious rooms with comfy bed. On the downside, the rooms were old and tired looking, they need money spending on them to modernise and brighten up.

It was a good hotel with nothing wrong and not exceptional.
Upfront I would like to mention that I’ve stayed here before and never experienced any problems, however this time wasn’t pleasant. My original room was occupied when I entered. The room that I was given after that smelled smoke and stale. After a long day, I came to find that the shower didn’t work. The prices of these rooms have gone up since I started staying with sonesta. I paid 240 for my room. Not expensive, but not cheap either. I expected better for that price for one night.
The building and rooms are very old and tired. The beds were comfortable, but the couch in the living room was terribly uncomfortable. Staff is friendly and very helpful though. It's a great property, just needs a facelift in the rooms with paint, carpet, and furniture. Breakfast was nice but NEEDS to run later. Especially on a weekend, closing at 8:30am on a Sunday is way to early
Stay Far away From this coach roach , bed bugs
Dirty filthy place. P.s.
They would've allow me to summit pictures. To grafic what we found in our room .... Not Pack but Crack ..
I felt like for what we paid, I expected better. Room smelled smoky, there was hair on the walls in the shower, one of our toilets had urine on the seat, the closet doors had bent metal pieces someone could easily cut themselves on. Front staff was great and very friendly though!
