Sonesta ES is a dog-friendly hotel with great breakfast and friendly staff
Pros:

Sonesta was excellent for us and our dog. Our room was comfortable, quiet and clean. The breakfast buffet offered good hot and cold options with plentiful seating in a dedicated space. Front desk and cleaning staff were friendly and helpful. The location is tucked away but very close to restaurants, shopping and access to main arteries.

Cons:

Nothing to improve

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Old, dusty, and dark no lights, dirty kitchen, and bugs in the bathroom. When we asked to cancel they said talk to the third party that is Booking. We couldn’t cancel or get our money back.

I loved staying there and may try to get a room there whenever I come into town to visit my daughter
Pros:

The rooms, kitchen and living area were very nice.

Cons:

I wish the trash can in the kitchen was a little bigger and there wasn't little kids running around upstairs during the night and morning. The walls are very thin.
