My stay was perfect for me. Although the third floor smelled a bit musty my room was fine once I cut the air on. The elevator was also broken but the customer service over shadowed any downsides. I did not catch her name but she was lovely, the tall woman with short hair and the boastful voice! ❤️

Pretty awful hotel

We stayed for three nights so that we could see our son graduate from boot camp. We normally stay in high end hotels, so we didn’t have huge expectations for this one. Sadly, the Sonesta dropped well below our low expectations. Within the first day the elevator broke down and was never fixed while we were there. Since we were on the third floor with my elderly parents, this definitely impacted our trip. Then on our last night the hot water broke. We all had to take ice cold showers on our last day. Overall the hotel experience was truly terrible. The one thing that redeemed it all was the incredible staff. They were so friendly and kind and made our crappy stay so very bearable.

Highly recommend, Navy base close by

It was a cute, clean and conveniently located hotel stay with amazing amenities like laundry, appliance borrowing and even a small gym available. Plenty of parking! I even noticed its pet friendly and has a cute small outdoor patio on the side of the building. The room was clean and have no complaints. This is a perfect place to stay for Navy graduation. About 7 minutes away from the Great Lakes base. Loved our stay here.
