We love Sonesta properties in general but were disappointed that this one did not have a coffee station in the lobby for guests and wanted to charge us $15 to fill a thermos! They did deliver coffee pods to our room but difficult to fill a thermos one cup at a time!

Above and Beyond for a Special Occasion

My husband and I stayed here for a quick, close-to-home anniversary trip, and it was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we checked in, the service stood out. Brian at the front desk made us feel so welcomed—friendly, professional, and genuinely happy to help. He set the tone for our entire stay. The hotel went above and beyond to make our anniversary special, even surprising us with a complimentary dinner. That thoughtful touch meant so much and made the evening memorable. The atmosphere was relaxing, the accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the staff truly cared about our experience. We left feeling refreshed and appreciated, and we’ll definitely return for another getaway. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for warm hospitality and those little extra touches that make a trip special!
