Categories

Cleanliness
8
Generally praised (multiple mentions of 'very clean' and 'freshly clean') but some notable negatives (weed smell in hallways, cockroach sighting, and missed housekeeping for several days) lower the score slightly.
Service
8.1
Staff frequently described as friendly and kind, with several positive notes; however there are service failures reported (poor check-in handling for under-21 guests, front desk unpleasantness, delayed room servicing) that moderate the rating.
Location
9
Strong positive sentiment about location and proximity to shops, markets and restaurants; multiple reviewers explicitly highlight 'location superb' and convenience.
Room Quality
8.8
Rooms described as spacious, comfortable and well equipped (two-bedroom setups, appliances, hot water), though isolated issues (cockroach, noisy old AC) prevent a perfect score.
Amenities
7.8
Mixed impressions: pool renovation and on-site gym/laundry are positives, but problems reported with dryers, no ice machine, unclear package fees and occasional lighting/parking concerns reduce the rating.
Value for Money
8.7
Several reviewers note a good cost-benefit and satisfactory price relative to experience; isolated complaints about deposits/fees impact perception but overall value is seen as strong.
Food and Beverage
8.6
Breakfast repeatedly praised as excellent/well managed and fresh, though some mention limited variety/repeat selection on multiple days.
Overall Experience
8.2
Overall stays are described as nice and often exceed expectations, with positives around cleanliness, staff and value; however recurring service and amenity issues (deposit disputes, dryer/housekeeping lapses, occasional security/smell problems) temper the overall score.

Very Good and Cozy Property that delivers value for your money!
Pros:

Love the location, the coziness of the rooms, the cleanliness of the property. I always use to stay here when it was Staybridge Suites under the IHG brand. Happy to see that it has kept the standard under Sonesta.

Cons:

The charge of $10 per package for guest who have items delivered there in advance I believe is too steep and a bit outrageous. I believe $5 is more reasonable and I think it should be charged for packages sent over a specific time frame. Charging me $10 to collect a package that was delivered and collected by me the same day is unfair. Also the free hot breakfast is terrible! Literally the worst hot breakfast menu I have ever had. They definitely need to improve in this area

Regular
Pros:

Que se pudiera cocinar y tener todo equipado para estar cómodo un par de dias

Cons:

El personal del turno de la tarde. Desagradable, no saludaba, al hacer check in lo hizo de mala manera con una actitud no apropiada. No deberían tener ese tipo de personal en atención al público
