Location was perfect, a clean and comfortable suite, despite issues named above.
Pros:

Shower and bed were great. Nice to have the complementary breakfast. Room was comfortable, but see below. Suite was well stocked with items needed for our convenience and comfort.

Cons:

Had trouble controlling temperature in the room. Thermostat didn't seem to work. Other items were broken (handle to slider going out to deck, USB port on living room lamp, toaster).

Disappointing as it was once a great hotel
Pros:

My mother and I stayed at the Sonesta many years ago, back when it was under different ownership. We had fond memories of our previous stay, so when we came across it again on Booking.com, we decided to give it another try.

Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed. The property has really gone downhill over the years. It feels dated and poorly maintained, the pool area is run-down and the breakfast was terrible compared to what it once was.

To make matters worse, our room key didn't work throughout our entire stay. Every time we left and returned, we had to notify the front desk and wait outside our room for a staff member to come and manually unlock the door. This was inconvenient and frustrating.

I'm not one to complain but our overall experience was very disappointing, especially considering the price we paid. Sadly, it was nothing like the Sonesta we remembered and we certainly didn't feel we received good value for our money.

Overall, we would book again with fewer expectations and bring our own cooking equipment. The space
Pros:

The breakfast was much better than expected. The picture of the breakfast room in Booking showed just coffee and cereal. They offered that and so much more! Hot eggs, sausages, toast and bagels, breakfast tacos and pancakes cooked to order.

Cons:

The pool was in a separate building and it was too cold to walk outside in a bathing suit. Also, the smell of chlorine was overpowering and concerning to my health when I stepped inside the pool area to examine the possibilities.
Our suite configuration was a surprise. We traveled with another couple and expected 2 bedrooms. The space was an open concept with no doors or privacy to the bedroom area. Our beds opened to the living space with our friends above us in a loft. We could hear the conversations and movement of each other. Maybe a great configuration if traveling with children. Finally, we brought food to heat up and there was only one small pot, so you may want to bring your own.

I’d not recommend this place.
Pros:

The breakfast good.

Cons:

The room was not ready when we arrived. When we came into our we, we discovered we needed towels and bedding. The walls by the bathroom sink were splattered with all mattered of degree. This one thing represents the condition of the entire bathroom. It was bad. There was a mop left leaning against the wall right outside our door. When cleaning staff left their cart outside our door as they worked, I leaned the mop against their cart. When they left, they leaned the mop back against the wall! The grounds are is dire need of attention. There are 2 planters on either side of the entrance to the office. Those planters had dead plants in them. There is very nice landscaping all around the facility, but it is severely overgrown with weeds that extend into and across walkways. This Sonesta ES needs serious attention!

Do not stay there!!! Awful place!
Pros:

The front desk girl was very receptive and helpful! Very good breakfast with variety of food!

Cons:

We arrived from Orlando, booked thru Booking, a suite with two queen beds, chimney(fireplace) and kitchenette.

1. Tv sets were old ( at least 15 years) not smart. Could not connect our phones, or use Netflix!

Bad reception and not steady cable service.

2. There was not Pillow covers on pillows, and the only one with it, had stains of lipstick.

3. The flatware set was incomplete, no forks ! The only spoon had rests of food on it! Everything inside a drawer!

Had to call twice to get pillow covers, clean flatware, fix the tv sets signal And never had wood sticks for the chimney , nor matches !


What kind of administration runs a place so bad? Cost was $220 but maybe $70 were a fair price!!

I picked this suite trusting the brand SONESTA! What a mess!

Never had so many things go wrong in one place like this hotel
Pros:

The check in process was quite easy

Cons:

So many things went wrong. When we entered the room, there was a strong smell (like durian or similar fruit), there was food left in the fridge, the soapbar was opened from its pack, and the TV was on. It seemed like someone was in the room before us and they forgot to completely clean it up. So, the first complain was responded, but then the worst happened.
We used the bathtub and the shower normally (no overflow or anything), but after a while we realized that there was water everywhere, in the bathroom floor, under the bed, even up to the kitchen. There was definitely something wrong with the plumbing. We complained to the reception again, but this time nobody came even though we waited and waited and waited. We had to stay up until late to dry the leakage using the limited towels that we had, and we couldn't use the bathroom anymore because we're afraid the same thing would occur. We should get a refund for so many things wrong during our stay.

Great location, nice large room, but the facility is in need of upkeep and remodeling.
Pros:

The location was great for our needs.

Cons:

This location did not live up to the advertisement when we booked. It is an older property that needs an upgrade. It is an older model needing modernization.
