Clean and comfortable extended stay

The staff are so helpful and pleasant! Our room was very clean and updated from our last stay a few years ago. We had one small isle with the A/C and staff was very quick to offer a different room (we declined)and prompt repair. The fee breakfast was phenomenal- way more than anticipated. The pool was clean and well maintained. Highly recommend this property!

Overall very disappointed with my stay. Multiple issues through my stay, the TV didn’t work at all, the shower was only scalding hot so could not shower our whole trip. The pullout bed was super uncomfortable with a horrible mattress with stains. The room had a noxious cinnamon air freshener that was overwhelming and strong. For the money I paid for this stay I was incredibly disappointed and will not be staying at a Sonesta in the future. Sorry but just too many negatives coinciding with this property.

Convenient to naval base. Very appreciative that we were able to watch naval training graduation you had set up for we grandparents. Thank you so much. Key cards did not work very well at all. That definitely needs to be fixed. Had a one bedroom suite, which was nice but person sleeping on couch in living room had to come through bedroom to shower or use toilet. Also had no mirror in living room area that that could be used to apply makeup or fix hair.
