I would stay here again

I just needed a place to crash for my daughter’s Navy boot camp graduation. I chose this Sonesta strictly based on price and it actually exceeded my expectations. I would recommend it.

There are plenty of eating options near and the Naval Base is close if you’re coming for graduation. I only wish they had some sort of breakfast at the hotel.

to many maintenance issues.

I have now stayed at this particular location three times this last of which was not pleasant. I have noticed they need a lot of maintenance around the facility that seems to be a consistent issue. The shower was malfunctioning with loose handles causing the tub to fill up while showering. I asked to be put in another room which was not granted. My iron was malfunctioning as well. The elevator was also down for my second-floor room which was also annoying for this stay.
