Great location, good hotel

Fabulous location, great size room! Definitely worth the price to stay in essentially an apartment- the one bedroom king room. It was great to have a fridge and stove top and microwave as well as dishes. For a mom and teen daughter weekend shopping trip it was absolutely perfect- we both had plenty of space between the king sized bed and the pull out couch, and our own TVs which we were able to sign into our Netflix account. There's a little market around the corner for pricey essentials, and the lobby has some snack to buy as well. I was able to find parking using spothero for around $60 for 2 nights, so we just walked and used public transportation and left the car in the indoor garage 2.5 blocks away. The coffee and tea in the lobby at all times was very nice. The staff was welcoming and very accommodating. The area felt very safe. We arrived after dark and had to walk from the parking garage with all our luggage and there were people walking their dogs all over! The downsides were that the beds were not the most comfortable and the breakfast was just acceptable. Cereal and milk would be nice, or bagels with cream cheese. The individual yogurts and bread and peanut butter were about all we found edible- the bacon looked good too but we don't eat it. We chose a hotel with a free breakfast intentionally but went out both mornings instead. For a weekend trip I felt like I chose a good hotel in a marvelous location. The room was just what we needed at the right price.

We had a short but pleasant stay at the Sonesta Suits. Check-in was easy and they welcomed our dog. The rooms were spacious. The location is great-- next to the lake, bars, restaurants, and shopping. The bathroom could have used a better cleaning (especially the tub). Also, there were a couple random charges on my card by the hotel that I can't account for. I plan to call them when I return home to ask for an explanation. Parking is expensive at $72/day, but that is comparable to other hotel parking in the area.

Will stay again!

We stayed at this hotel in Oct 2022 and returned March 2025. Such a great improvement with the renovations!! We had the 2 bedroom suite both times which is like a small apartment and perfect for families. My only complaint is that the room we stayed in 2022 had a decent sized bathroom plus a sink in the master bedroom. That room was twice the size of the room we had in 2025. The bathroom was so tiny and so was the sink. Definitely difficult with 4 people.
