The pet are is fine. It’s located on the side of the hotel. The staff provided dog treats when we checked in. Rooms are nice, nothing crazy fancy. It works for our needs. Full kitchen, king bed, chair and ottoman, desk/dresser. Beds are high so for small dog get up and down the bed the ottoman was needed.

The front desk was very unprofessional to my husband when he arrived, but after I walked in and provided all of the ID they changed. The restroom smelled like pee and the entire room had a very, very unpleasant smell. I think they have allowed animals and they have soiled the room. Definitely do not recommend! Very bad experience…

I recently stayed at the Sonesta and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. For over four days there was constant stomping and heavy noise coming from the room above me. I called the front desk and complained four days in a row, but the issue continued throughout my stay. I want to be clear that I am not blaming the staff, as they were polite and responsive when I called. However, the noise was never resolved, and because of it I lost multiple days of work and rest. This was extremely frustrating and made my stay unpleasant. I hope management takes this seriously and provides a solution or compensation, as I feel this was not the level of service and comfort I expected from Sonesta.
