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!

Property is very old and dated, furniture falling apart and stains all over chairs and couch. Glue holding tables together. Killed two roaches. Arrived late from a 13 hour drive..around 1am. Only stayed til the next morning then got up and left to find another hotel because this one was not up to standards. Will never book at Sonesta 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.
