I didn’t have any issues with the Sonesta Essentials hotel. The room was clean and no funky odors that people have claimed were issues. The area was nice and convenient for where we needed to get to everyday as it was a max of 25 min drive.
The only concerns I’d have is some of the rooms that looked like a longer stay were kind of run down as some of the windows were busted out.
