We stayed at the Sonesta between May 17th & 31st 2013. This holiday was a part of our son's 21st Birthday present. We chose the Sonesta because it was a small hotel. We had read lots of reviews (some good, some not so good. But you can't please everyone.) When we arrived we knew immediately that we had made the... More
