Disliked: Cleanliness
Sonesta ES Suites was a comfortable stay in a safe area with many restaurants and a Costco nearby. The staff was friendly and tried to be helpful. It has fallen since we last stayed there many years ago when it was a Staybridge Suites. The property was not well maintained, rooms were not serviced, hallways were covered with peoples sheets and towels, floors were not vacuumed/cleaned regularly. We skipped breakfast after trying it as it was not worth the calories. A first for us. We to remind the clerk that parking was approved as a non-charge at checkout. The experience could be improved by their management team but it looked like expectations have been established.

Not the best place to stay on your vacation.

No where to park your car when checking in. No room for Morning breakfast. Selection is not that great. Access and exits are questionable if there was a fire.

Hair was on my towels in the bathroom which were nicely folded. Hair was also on the pillows. Had issues with the toilet then it eventually flooded the bedroom. Informed management, she told she had no other rooms and could not give me a refund for 1 night. It was booked 3rd party. I assumed she wanted me and my 3 kids to stay on the streets. No resolution.
