Its pretty far out from the main town. If you are looking for nice stay in a decent area, this is not the one. We were there for just 2 nights and I thought repeatedly why would I book this again. Bad neighborhood. The only thing is its comparatively cheaper than other hotels. Don't fall for Sonesta name. They refused to give us breakfast the only morning we were in citing power cut issues.

Great, however, the staff had not replenished the breakfast items at all. We arrived well on time for breakfast. There was barely anything. Some lady who also arrived with us, requested for the food to be replenished, but the staff didn't seem to care. Finally, after several people complained, they brought a few slices of bread and re-filled the milk. This was the worst breakfast experience.
