The hotel was basic and very weathered. Mold in the bathroom around the shower and sink. Carpets worn and generally felt outdated. We actually checked out a day early due to no internet. Unfortunately, when working remotely, we really needed to stay connected. We were located in the #6 building, corner top floor, queen suite room. Breakfast was included and not bad, grounds and gardens were well kept. Pool area does not look like the photos. Breakfast staff friendly, front desk staff cordial, great location.

This was my second stay at Sonesta due to the great location in terms of shopping, and dining. However, I won’t be returning due to the poor service and rude front desk attendant at our check in.
