Sonesta ES Suites Wilmington - Newark

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at this property! The room was remarkably spacious and tidy, offering everything our family needed for a comfortable visit. Here are a few highlights from our stay: Plenty of Space: Having two full bathrooms was a total game-changer. There was also more than enough closet and clothing storage space so we didn't feel cramped. Family-Friendly Setup: The second bedroom had two beds, which offered more than enough room for my three small children to sleep comfortably. Amenities: The main bed was super comfortable, and having a full kitchen made managing meals so much easier. A couple of small things to note: Breakfast: It was good, though it wrapped up a little earlier than we would have preferred. Entertainment: The only feature missing was smart TV functionality—there was no ability to screen share from our devices, and movie/TV streaming options were limited. Overall, the property was well worth the stay, and we would definitely stay here again!"
