Misleading don’t believe everything you reads
The photos on hotels.com are misleading. Our room didn’t look like the photos on the site. Also the room wasn’t ready until a few minutes after check in time. This hotel didn’t offer room service and the valet parking was a joke. When we first pulled in , there were cars coming out the same way which was confusing, so we had to drive around the block until the valet entrance was clear. We definitely won’t be visiting and Sonesta hotels ever again.

I know it is common to not provide room service daily anymore . But having to ask for it during a week stay is bothersome. Offering no service, every other day or daily could give customers options.
