Great. Nice, comfortable, clean and modern. Front desk people were inappropriately harsh.
Cons:

Front desk manager did not honor my request to extend my stay and in fact said that they had cancelled my reservation and would not allow me to stay at the hotel - but billed me anyway- due to a customer complain that I had spoken firmly to her and falsely accused her.

What actually happened was that my teenage daughter was groped several times by the same woman in the hallway near the lobby while I was waiting to talk to the front desk rep and while I was talking to the front desk rep and my daughter was standing behind me. My daughter became very distressed and frightened and I turned to the woman and told her clearly and firmly to stop touching my daughter. The woman apparently complained to the manager stating that the incidents did not happen and that she was upset at being falsely accused. I was then denied the ability to extend my booking. I checked out but made a new reservation and returned at 4 but was again denied check-in due to “a message related from the manager to the front desk person that I was being denied service.

I do not lie or exaggerate incidents and I was also terribly upset, myself, at what had happened to a young teen girl by a woman who had continued to be in close proximity to us whenever we were in public areas in the hotel. I did not yell nor swear. I just firmly told the woman to stop grabbing my daughter while we were all in the hallway near the lobby ( very small area) as I was waiting to talk w the front desk rep about extending my reservation.

I did not and do not feel that I was treated cordially or with respect, but, instead blamed and falsely accused of lying and insulting another guest. It should be noted that there was no high drama. No one else was aware of the incident. I did not raise my bounce nor cause a scene in any way.

Inconsiderate, incompetent,and a poor choice to choose if you are traveling in the Irvine spectrum area
Pros:

That there was something instead of nothing

Cons:

The pictures on Booking.com gave an illusion that portrayed the room to be something it was not.

The staff was incredibly rude, inconsiderate, and inconvenient towards me and my wife.
I booked the room in my name, and when my keys stopped working suddenly, I went to the front desk to get it replaced, and he hassled me for id was in the room, even though I gave him all of the correct names and information he asked for. Also, the lady in the morning was incredibly rude and inconsiderate when it came to checking in.
I will never return to this Sonesta hotel

It was a great place to stay for an extended period.
Pros:

Staff was friendly and maid did a good job cleaning the room.

Cons:

Air conditioning unit did not keep bedroom cool as it is an outdated system and needs to be replaced. Also all the glasses in the room were wine glasses, not dutch oven for pasta but strainer was in room so not sure what happened to it. Limited items for cooking.
