The room was spacious with comfortable bed and furnishings. The coffee was excellent and the bathroom felt luxurious. We just loved everything! The restaurant food was great quality and not overpriced. And, our location downtown couldn’t be better, near Riverwalk and Michigan Avenue. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Sonesta!"
