Not Sonesta Standards
Good evening Sir / Ma’am, whenever I travel, I try to find a Sonesta. This location is under construction and my room did not meet Sonesta standards nor mine. There was no hot water in the sink, only the bathtub, the a/c stayed on high cold for about 30 minutes after turning it down, the toilet did not flush properly, there was small holes, paint specks on the door knobs and construction dust on the counter. The best thing about the trip was the customer service. He was great. I’m sorry I did not get his name.
