We ended up at the Sonesta hotel after we were canceled secondary to water issues in another part of junction city. The lobby was contemporary looking and so were the rooms. The 3rd floor hall carpeting was old looking and really needed to replaced. The breakfast was fair. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. We would stay here again if the opportunity arises.

Incredible Room w. A Balcony
After a long day of packing for a move across country … the Sonesta was the perfect place to stay and relax for the night. We would definitely stay here again.
