This is primarily a complaint about Hotels.com; there is no mention that I could find about a $10 per night parking fee charged at this property. The hotel looks fairly new, the bed was comfortable, everything was very clean. Breakfast was fine. Staff was slow to find me a room when the one I apparently reserved was not clean when I arrived at 3:30.

The staff & accomodations were great. The breakfast? Horrible! Very minimal& not what it used to be. Limited choices, overcooked eggs, undercooked potatoes. For what I paid for the room, the breakfast should be palatable.

I did not utilize the hotel amenities during this stay. The lobby was clean and presentable. My queen sweet was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The bedding was crisp and clean, promoting a good night's sleep. The breakfast was suitable, the coffee was fresh. I would like to see the breakfast times extend, times are currently 0630-0830. If the breakfast times could be extended until 0930, that would be ideal and flexible for more guests. I will definitely recommend this hotel and being staying there in the future.

We did not use the pool. We did not go to breakfast. The room needed a little more cleaning and carpet was ripped by the bathroom, hard to open microwave as it was too close to the refrigerator, the switch from running water to shower would not completely switch, the tub didn’t drain well, coffee pot didn’t work. We do like the location. The price was good

Our stay at Sonesta was amazing. We enjoyed the location that was close to many restaurants, a Trader Joe’s and a Costco. The hotel was renovated and the rooms were spacious.

This is a great place! Right by a costco and shopping mall. Lots of convenient things nearby. Not the most walking friendly but if you like walking you would enjoy it. All in all its a good place to stay at for a few days. There is a parking fee for cars fyi

The property is in a lovely quiet leafy suburb with easy shopping and dining nearby. Staff were very friendly. We paid the small difference to upgrade to a suite and very glad we did as the extra space and facilities were excellent.

The staff was great, the place was pretty worn and beaten up. Dusty all along the edges of the floors, and furniture old and banged up.
Breakfast was good one day, but the next day all the food, coffee, plates were gone a half hour after it opened.
