Pretty awful hotel

We stayed for three nights so that we could see our son graduate from boot camp. We normally stay in high end hotels, so we didn’t have huge expectations for this one. Sadly, the Sonesta dropped well below our low expectations. Within the first day the elevator broke down and was never fixed while we were there. Since we were on the third floor with my elderly parents, this definitely impacted our trip. Then on our last night the hot water broke. We all had to take ice cold showers on our last day. Overall the hotel experience was truly terrible. The one thing that redeemed it all was the incredible staff. They were so friendly and kind and made our crappy stay so very bearable.
