According to Sonesta Simply Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no company-owned outlets opened in California during 2023. The provided table, which details the status of both franchised and company-owned outlets from 2022 to 2024, indicates that the number of company-owned Sonesta Simply Suites locations in California remained constant at five during this period.

Specifically, the table shows that at the start of 2023, there were five company-owned outlets in California. Throughout 2023, there were no additional openings, re acquisitions, closures, or sales to franchisees, leaving the total number of company-owned outlets at the end of 2023 still at five. This suggests that Sonesta Simply Suites did not expand its company-owned presence in California during that year.

For a prospective franchisee, this data indicates that Sonesta Simply Suites's growth strategy in California may be more focused on franchising rather than expanding its own corporate footprint. It is important to note that this data reflects only company-owned stores and not franchised locations. A potential franchisee should consider this information when evaluating the opportunities and market dynamics within California.
