The hotel was cool but Sonesta takes FOREVER to return the $100 incidental fee. I just checked out today but the Royal Sonesta is Chicago took 40 days. Overall the hotel was comfortable while I was visiting town to bury my father.

Clean room, good breakfast. Front desk was nice and polite. If you have a toddler, remove the mirror hanging by bathroom as it is only secured at top and can swing. There was a huge closet we put ours in. Hallway smelled of Marijuana but did not in room. Had to pay $100 deposit that was not made clear by website. This is a first time I have ever had to pay a deposit traveling as a family.
