I came here about 10 weeks ago, right after Sonesta took over. They have done substantial improvements in rooms, toiletries, etc. Very impressed. Also try to get rooms not facing the interstte. Can get kind of noisy with traffic.

The chlorine was so strong it burnt everyone's eyes and skin... They had a woman sleeping all over the couch in the front area and the staff was hella rude! I will never return. Not enough towels /not enough toilet tissue/ Not enough food on the breakfast pad... So a lot of folks didn't get to eat the FREE breakfast so they closed it!
