The stay was good. My family was really comfortable. The rooms were very clean and had everything we needed. We saved money going to the grocery store and cooking our own food. The only issue was hooking up a game console for the kids seemed nearly impossible as the outlets were too far from the tv. The stand was bolted so you cant hook anything up.

Honest review

We have stayed at this same Sonesta a few times in the past and things have drastically changed. Even though the staff was nice. There was no housekeeping available, and no more complementary breakfast. The room was clean but the bathtub was in horrible condition. There is a very unsanitary slip grip lining in the tub that was peeling up and very nasty. We showered with flip flops on. Unfortunately we will no longer be choosing this hotel to stay at for future business/ conventions/ or personal events.

A bit noisy right next to Icon Park, but that also made it walkable to food and entertainment. The room was spacious and parking was no problem.
