I usually stay at Sonesta suites so I’m used to the area and accommodations. This time around one of the staff members kept coming by my room in the morning asking us to check out. Mind you it was not time to check out which was 11:00 AM. I verified this info and also informed the staff member, but he came by again to knock and tried to get us out of the room. Maybe he was confused or just wanted to clean early. When we did check out at 11 AM that same staff member was in the lobby waiting for us. We pay good money for a nice suite or hotel that can provide some peace on the weekends each month. While sonesta is still our choice of hotel this experience was inconvenient and annoying to say the least.

Comfy and Quiet

Everything was wonderful, except the coffee ran all over the counter because the top to the pot was broken. The bed was so comfortable and the room was very quiet and comfy. Will definitely stay here again!
