Great stay. Comfortable bed. Quiet at night. Clean. Only flaws: no plugs near the bed to charge phones, the fire alarm went off and we had to "evacuate" (which was scary but it was only a sprinkler that was destroyed), and the pool was crowded so we did not want to go in it.

I had stumbled across this hidden gem and took a risk. it was beautiful, the staff were incredibly helpful and kind, and parking in the garage with just a short uber or train ride to our destinations was perfect for a small town Mom and son to see all that we wanted without fear of driving in the “big city”! 10/10 recommend and we will be back. Thank you Royal Sonesta for an amazing stay!
