Some of the stuff was OK some of it wasn’t. I guess y’all pick and choose who can eat in the rooms cause I had taken my mom some food for breakfast because she’s handicap and the lady told me I couldn’t do that but I seen three other people take food to their rooms and they didn’t tell them anything but otherwise everything was fine

Its pretty far out from the main town. If you are looking for nice stay in a decent area, this is not the one. We were there for just 2 nights and I thought repeatedly why would I book this again. Bad neighborhood. The only thing is its comparatively cheaper than other hotels. Don't fall for Sonesta name. They refused to give us breakfast the only morning we were in citing power cut issues.

People hanging around in the parking lot all night, that breakfast was the worse breakfast i’ve ever had, didn’t even finish it, bland eggs, powder orange juice and gray flavorless sausages , it was cheap and i thought it was a nicer hotel for a good deal, it wasnt, a Motel 6 would’ve been nicer provably

Great, however, the staff had not replenished the breakfast items at all. We arrived well on time for breakfast. There was barely anything. Some lady who also arrived with us, requested for the food to be replenished, but the staff didn't seem to care. Finally, after several people complained, they brought a few slices of bread and re-filled the milk. This was the worst breakfast experience.

To be honest, policy at this hotel are very odd.. they kept the deposit because of vaping? First of all how do they know we were vaping? Are the camaras in tge rooms?
Front desk treats you very poorly, no respect.
Our room was ok.. the bed was vey low to the floor...
Breakfast bread was hard milk was bad...
No security its surrounded area in not the best... i did not feel safe i would not go back to this hotel. Thus us a personal opinion its my experience anyone might have different. We never stayed in thos hotel we thought it was great but we would not go back. Personaly I thought it woukd be good but no.

We lost almost 300 dollars and it was extremely exhausting staying there..

After a long day of travel, we checked into the hotel around 6. The room smelled terrible, I was hoping that after we went to go eat dinner the smell would subside and we would be ok. I was wrong, and the smell seemed worse. The room was on the third floor. I went down to see if they had a different room, because the smell was so bad. The women at the front desk was very nice and tried to be accommodating. She seemed like she was very overwhelmed. She said at first there were no rooms with double beds but she could try and give a room with one bed and a pullout. She went to check to make sure the room was clean and came back and said room was good, this was on the fifth floor. I took the elevator up, which was loud and sounded like it was going to break, but the key she gave me didn’t work. At this point my family had packed their stuff and was waiting in lobby. I came back down and told her it wouldn’t work. At that point she said she found one more double room that might work, or else she would have to accommodate me a at a different hotel. This time we tried the room on the second floor and this time it worked. The room was okay and didn’t smell. We were able to use the stairs and avoid the elevator, one was loud and one didn’t work. Other issues included no hot water for showers, which was extremely inconvenient. We also never had enough towels because there was four of us and they’d only replace with two. So each time they replaced towels I had to ask for more.

I immediately went to the front desk to report it, and they reassigned me to another room—only for me to walk in and find someone already in there! I felt terrible for invading that person’s privacy, but that’s on the hotel for being so careless and unprofessional.

Dirty room and roaches crawling everywhere.

The room was incredible dirty. There were roaches in the bathtub and crawling on the wall. The sheets had stains all over them. The water pressure in the bathroom was non existent. We ended up leaving and staying somewhere else because i did not feel comfortable at this place. We went back in the morning to turn in our key, but i was not at all happy with the experience here. If I had not had already checked in I would have requested a refund just due to seeing so many roaches crawling in the room upon us getting in there.
