“Sonesta ES Suites in San Antonio strikes me as a practical choice for families or extended stays, particularly with the apartment-style suites. The renovations appear to have refreshed the property, and I appreciate the social atmosphere they cultivate. While the location is ideal for hitting the Alamo, the parking fees seem steep.”
