Pros:

I like the security you have to badge everywhere and I thought that was safe

Cons:

My first 2 nights I slept unknowingly that there were mice in my room and on the third night I saw them with my own eyes, when I brought it up the desk they didn’t have a manger on duty but gave me another room but tried to excuse my concerns and tried to defend the take of there being MICE in my room no refund no sorrys but here’s your new room and that rubbed me the wrong way

Pros:

I liked the cleanliness, the size of the room, and the way it was laid out. It was also pretty quiet. I occasionally heard guests upstairs, but that's it.

Cons:

A few places that needed improvement: the water pressure in the shower was too low, and the pillow weren't great either (I appreciate when both feather-style and foam pillow are available). Charging $5 for parking was lame. Parking should be included.

Great location will be back
Pros:

The rooms were clean and big. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful! The courtyard so my kids could play basketball while I relaxed by the fire pit was perfect.

Cons:

The shower pressure was not great. Also there was a soccer team staying there banging on doors and running away. I could also hear them int eh room above me.

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
