Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Great location and the room was nice. Sonesta should really change the location of the TV in their rooms. The closet blocks the TV for at least one of the guests in bed. I ran into this issue at several Sonesta hotels. Also - the manager at the JC site always seemed to be distracted. Room wasn't ready at 4:00 (Granted - lots going on in JC at that time - graduations, etc.) but this shouldn't have been an issue, knowing guests were arriving.
