Sonesta Essential Ames

8/10 Good
"The only deficiency with the room was the bathroom faucet that had a very low flow. I used the laundry and breakfast; both good. I would have used the pool, but the pool room was way too hot. Overall it was good value for a single traveler looking for basic lodging."
