The staff was really helpful and pleasant. The property and exterior building looks good and the breakfast was nice. The suites are spacious with full kitchen. The only issue are the suites could use some updating as the interior hallways and elevator too. We had some issue with gnats, but not sure if thats normal for the area. The gym is OK with minimal equipment. Another plus is animals are allowed and they have a small store with beverages and snacks to purchase.

I love the fact that the rooms came with stoves. We were able to cook our U.S.NavySailor Graduate whatever her and her friends wanted to eat. It was close to the Navy base. They had transportation that brought us to graduation and from graduation, which was awesome. all the food restaurants and Walmart was like 2/3 minutes away. Oh my God, and the staff was amazing. me n my family felt safe and I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Great experience with staff and room was clean, however the hot tub wasn’t working and there were some homeless ppl who were in and out of the building and the doors weren’t always locking to get into the building which made it a bit more worrisome for my family and I. Other than that the place wasn’t a bad place to stay. Had the homeless ppl not been there and building been secured I would’ve given this place a 5/5

If you’re going to the graduation at the Naval Naval base it’s a great location. I love the amount of space in the rooms. They also offer a military discount if you ask for it. A big difference between room quality, so you need to be a bit picky

We had our family reunion at Sonesta this year. We used their grill, pool and basketball court and had the absolute best time!! The kids were kept busy all day with these amenities. In addition, they offered free breakfast which was a plus. Although I didn’t eat breakfast, I heard so many good things about the pancakes. Apparently, they are to die for lol. The staff was so friendly and helpful. This is my 4th time staying here and the reason I chose Sonesta for this event is because of the staff. Hospitality at its best!!!!! As someone who teaches hospitality classes, I can truly say that this staff has it down packed.

Very outdated. The outside is so well kept and pretty. Great neighborhood. The inside is very 80’s/90’s. Room was not very clean, broken locks, broken fridge, stain on couch, old food in the freezer. Housekeeping would be my biggest complaint. Spiderwebs and the corners of the floor just dirt build up. Update it and it would be great and get higher attentive housekeeping. Bed was so comfy!
