The rooms were nice and very clean. However, I requested a quiet room and the first room I was assigned was far from it. They put me right next to exterior vents and above in entrance / exit door. The second room was better but still close to the entrance which was very noisy. Also, the whole room shakes when people leave their rooms and slam the doors. I thought we were having little earthquakes. Currently, I'm still awaiting my $200 refundable security deposit which I've not received back four days after checking out. Normally, when I check out of hotels I receive it back within minutes, literally - I know from having stayed in many hotels. Other hotels I'll literally see the refund back immediately and not the case here, so now I'm leaving a complaint because I've tried to inquire about this and I'm still not receiving my refund. If a hotel is going to take this long and hold this much money ($200!) I will not stay there again.

WiFi connectivity was terrible. Not a good place for remote work if you are dependent upon reliable internet. WiFi would cut out in 20 minute intervals for the solid week I was there. I had to go to alternative places like coffee shops near Great Park for reliable WiFi.

Good and bad!

There was good and bad about our stay. The room was comfortable, but maybe a little run down and outdated. I loved that it had a kitchenette area and was stocked with dishes, etc., The bed was comfortable. I guess the biggest surprise was that there was no room service. But it worked out ok. We just took soiled towels to front desk and they gave us clean ones and we could empty garbage at end of hall. All in all I enjoyed our stay there and would consider staying again because it was reasonably priced.

The service at the front desk was good and the room was excellent. The only negative was that there was no maid to refresh the room, so we had to go to the front desk for towels, Kleenex, and coffee packs on the second night. Maybe that is normal, but it surprised us.

Great value for a very decent hotel

This is the second review of Sonesta in 2 days. This particular hotel was upgraded and in a better condition than the “Orange County Airport” Sonesta. The bed and pillows were better than in hotels double the price. Truly delightfully comfy after a long day. This hotel chain is for super practical people who want a comfortable clean suite but don’t need too many fancy amenities. Location is boring in a rather industrial area and unfortunately surrounded by fast food places. Great value for a very decent stay. Breakfast was the only thing I missed.

Location for what we needed to do in the area. - The kitchen utensils could be improved; rusted or dull kitchen knifes. - No frypan(?) - No one in the reception oriented to the fact that they have small appliances a guest could use during stay: Blender, juicer, etc 🙁
