Great stay in a super convenient
I had a great experience at the Sonesta. The location is very convenient—right across the street from shops and dining options, which made it easy to grab anything I needed. The room had a modern feel and the bed was super comfortable, which made for a good night’s sleep. I also appreciated the free and easy parking—definitely a plus in the Chicago area. The only downside was the recliner in the room; it wasn’t very comfortable, but that was a minor issue overall. I’d definitely stay here again!

Home away from Home
The room was spacious yet cozy. My husband loved the recliner in the room! Having a laundry room on site was great, not having to pay to do laundry was a plus! We were a little disappointed not to get the fresh popped popcorn that was advertised in the lobby by the popcorn machine. Unfortunately we were told there wasn’t enough staff on site to make it. But other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

Checked in my room and there was a plastic bag with used tampons behind the recliner. I also stayed there for five days and saw the cleaning staff three times in the mornings, but they never came in and cleaned my room. Not sure why they would skip my room
