Super close to downtown. Good food but a bit pricy

Honestly, this hotel is fantastic. The service was amazing, but the absolute highlight for me was the fitness center. It’s like a mini YMCA, tons of weights, machines, mats, kettlebells, and even a workout mirror. The only thing missing was a bench press, but they have everything else, including a cold water fountain to refill your bottle. ​My room was super clean, and the bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable. Plus, the staff went out of their way to be helpful. I was a little bummed at first that there wasn't a pool, especially since I was in town for a conference. But honestly? The price was so much better than the hotels directly connected to the convention center that it didn't even matter. I’m 100% staying here from now on.

Freaking life savers! They helped my man and I after a complete disaster with the Canopy Hilton stay. I'll spare the details on the hilton, but Sonesta has great and caring staff. The room is nice too with a high ceiling.

Immediate impression is not great... the curtains are completely shredded and the view includes construction debris. I'm not a fan. Front desk staff is attentive and friendly.
