Pros:
The room had a security device on the door that seemed to be very efficient.
My room had a kitchenette and living room, separate from the bedroom. Very spacious. And two large windows with nice blackout drapes.
The rooms have been updated.
The a/c was efficient.
The sheets were fresh and clean.
Super nice staff in the dining room.
Front desk staff were helpful.
There are some restaurants 2-5 minutes walk away (Meditterranean, Indian, Thai, KFC, etc).
Cons:
No shower liner, so water ended up on the floor.
Light switch frames are old, which dates the place.
Bathroom needed more towels.
I didn't care for the bathroom artwork.
They didn't have sufficient staff after 5pm.
In my room, the bedroom double doors left a 1" gap, which could affect privacy.
There's a 1" gap under the room door.
The breakfast was more of a continental breakfast.
There was insufficient signage, during their remodel. Got lost a few times.
Suggestions for guests:
Get familiar with the stairwells for quicker access to your room.
Suggestions for Sonesta Hotels:
Put guest security first by fixing the items above.
Add one housekeeper and one facilities man thru each night. Just give them free lodging to be on call to lower costs.
Maybe some weather stripping might improve bedroom door gaps. (Maybe the rooms are not yet complete?)
Hire a bell hop or provide some smaller carts that are easier to navigate.
