This place SALVAGED MY TRIP !!

I came to the area for a memorial service and checked into an Airbnb that was a nightmare and had to find last minute lodging for my pup and I in an unfamiliar place. This is a quaint hotel and upon arrival I was unsure. And BOY WAS I WRONG ! This place was perfect and I wish I would have started there instead of wasting money on an air bnb. The rooms were clean and quiet and very comfortable with nice touches like a bar sink and a rain shower The rooms have balconies to sit and watch the sunset or the city vibes on A1A . It’s literally across the street from beach access to the quietest prettiest beach I’ve seen from the Pacific to the Atlantic on the mainland of this country and exactly what I needed . I was greeted by a very lively and funny lady that evening (holiday weekend last minute booking ) She made me feel very comfortable and was every bit as welcoming as a larger brand hotel and certainly more than the hosts at the joke of an air bnb I paid ten times as much for. The pool is large and clean . The property is quiet even tho it is located near bars and restaurants sure to have something for any taste in food or music. Do yourself a favor and stay here . You will still have money to spend with the local vendors and you will definitely enjoy the kind and relaxing atmosphere ! Thank you so much to the staff here for their pride in their place and their unmatched southern hospitality !

Property was nice. Pet owners beware $75 pet fee. Outrageous because I got there at 10:40pm and left at 7:00am. Almost as much as I paid for the room. Seems predatory to anyone with a pet

Always like staying at Sonesta because it it pet-friendly! The only issue is I am scent-allergic and lots of scented products were in use to clean when we arrived. Had to open the window to get rid of the scents.

We had a fantastic check-in experience our check-in guide nudged us to get an Uber instead of driving because we are going to a concert. Our hotel room was lovely and I feel like the stuff at this hotel should all get raises because we had such a lovely time.

I liked that it was close to a couple shopping centers. What I didn't like is that the room I booked wasn't available (probably because I booked 3rd party and chose to pay at check in) but the lady found me a room with what I asked for. Another thing I didn't like is that they didn't offer free breakfast or at the very least a free coffee station. BUT you were able to purchase coffee at their franchised Starbucks for $6 and buy breakfast too. Plenty of other hotels in walking distance that do offer what this place didn't.
