    On the website, it says we won’t have to pay for anything once we check it. It didn’t mention anything about having to pay for parking or put a deposit down. I feel like that’s false advertisement.

    the bed was comfy, it was very clean, staff was sweet.

    see above

    The hotel was clean but when I entered my room 330 there was food peas and some kind of meat left on the carpet in front of the dresser from the previous guests that was not vacuumed. It was hard and dry so I just cleaned it up with a disinfectant wipe. The coffee utensil pouches were used/and not replaced so no sugar for coffee so I had to go buy some. I was told if I signed up for the Sonata membership I would get 1000 points but I only got 500. There was some noise from the housekeepers but aside from the above the say was ok.

    Part that I didn’t like , it’s that we arrived a little earlier. And hotel wanted to change us $40.00 fee for an early check in . But we only wait , a lot Guests were waiting as well.

    The hotel is very clean , that’s why we stayed and in very good location for what we needed (49ers game) the bed 🛌 are comfortable. This hotel in my opinion to stay 1-3 days only . It’s Good Hotel The lady at the restaurant, is super kind taking your beverage order (coffee, water, orange juice, etc) and the tables were beautiful. She was super nice , polite with all the guest.

    The height of the bathtub is too low for me. The hallway is pretty cold on second floor. I don't like the Spanish language on TV setting, I didn't know how to switch the language to TV menu.

    Bed is comfy. I like the thermostat which I can set to the preferred temperature. I can watch multiple channels on TV which is nice. Staffs are really nice, they provide information on where to visit around this season. Location of the hotel is convenient. All the locations I want to visit are around 10 - 20 min away.

    Since we have back problems, the mattress was too soft for us

    The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was (surprisingly) very good,- we had a large selection of hot meals (bacon, scrambled eggs, sausages, chicken patties and potatoes - everything was fresh and not overcooked/stale. The fruit salad was also very tasty and fresh! There was even a selection of sliced ham and cheese for Europeans ;)

    Saw somewhere parking is $15 but they didn't charge us. If I had to pay for parking I wouldn't have liked it as much lol

    WOW!! We booked this hotel the day before and were lucky they had available rooms AND at a reasonable price. Sometimes pictures look better than the actual hotel, but Sonesta is one of those places where what you see is what you get. We were very impressed with the hotel. Staff was friendly, rooms were new and clean, entire place seemed very well maintained.

    There is no microwave in the room. Going to the hallway near the ice cooler to use the microwave sliding off the table, it's not cool at all .

    I was greeted with a smile from Sara as I approached the front desk. I told her about my not so good experience with my room at the other Sonesta Hotel in Milpitas. Sara immediately apologized and told me to please let them know if I have any issues. I loved this property and the environment. It's very convenient, just off the freeway exit.

    Carpets in hallway need to be cleaned. Door to bathroom opens awkwardly blocking entry. Should be told ahead of time about the $75(!) fee for dog and fee for breakfast (probably most important).

    Quiet area and friendly staff. Nice decor! Lovely pool and other facilities that I didn't have time to use.
