It was close by to a shopping center, which was very convenient. The only thing I struggled with was that I was originally directed to go to the back entrance to building B to enter from the parking lot to bring in my luggage. I have mobility issues so having to step up onto a curb and then 2 more stairs to get into the building was really difficult. However, I did figure out if I stayed in one of the handicap parking space (I have a handicap placard) in the front and used the entrance on the front of building B, there were handicap accomodations.

The first room we were given recked of raw marijuana. The staff quickly set us up with another room which was fine. The staff were very nice, but we didn't need anything aside from that. The dresser drawers were beat up a bit but still worked and the room was spacey and laid out well. The stair cases smelled like weed and the second room smelled like weed one of the nights we were there. I'm sure it was other guests and its hard for the staff to take care of that, but if you have allergies and the smell bothers you.. its a thing.

While we are happy to hear that overall your visit to Sonesta was positive, it’s a disappointment that even one aspect of your stay failed to exceed your expectations. Thank you for your honest feedback, and we hope that you will consider giving us another opportunity.

The staff was very friendly and helpful with directions and suggestions for the event we were in town for. The two bedroom suite was perfect size, with two full bathrooms. You can tell that the unit is a little “dated”, but it was very clean. Overall we had a pleasant stay.
