The Sonesta was a pleasant surprise. The staff were professional and polite. The grounds were very clean as well as the room. The area was quiet and I felt very safe as a solo traveler. Very close to restaurants, grocery stores and shopping. Although they offer complimentary breakfast, if you do not eat pork your options are limited. Overall this is a good place for an extended stay.
