4 out of 5 stars Great stay in a super convenient

I had a great experience at the Sonesta. The location is very convenient—right across the street from shops and dining options, which made it easy to grab anything I needed. The room had a modern feel and the bed was super comfortable, which made for a good night’s sleep. I also appreciated the free and easy parking—definitely a plus in the Chicago area. The only downside was the recliner in the room; it wasn’t very comfortable, but that was a minor issue overall. I’d definitely stay here again!

The space was lovely, staff was very friendly. The only issue I have was that the room smelled old or maybe funky idk and the things I needed I had to get from the front desk. For my own piece of mind I had to do rough wipe of all the surfaces but overall the room was very nice. I couldn't use the tv since it said no signal. Quiet and serene place with everything in a good distance and beautiful view.
