Our stay at The Sono was great! We were only staying a night and booked a queen room, and they gave us a free upgrade to a king room since it was unoccupied. The room was fantastic & clean, the breakfast was delicious with lots of variety and the voucher for free street parking made this the best option for our stay. I would definitely stay again.

Perfect Stay for Couples.
It was great we stayed two nights, the breakfast was a nice add, and it's in walking distance of the zoo, so that was cool. The bed was comfortable and and they had a nice variety of sparkling water.

First time in a non-traditional hotel.
Our first non-traditional hotel stay. Great communication and Adie was extremely friendly and made sure we knew about the property and its location as we weren't from around the area.
King bed room was clean and spacious with a huge shower and a balcony to sit and read.
The free parking was a bonus along with the continental breakfast.
Because of the small setting, we were able to meet some really interesting people from much farther away than we were.
We really had a great time.
