Good value for price. Slight strong smell when first entered room, but after running the AC it went away. I’m also very sensitive to smells so could just be me. Aside from that the bed was comfortable, breakfast options were great, check-in was smooth and in a good location. The hotel owner/attendant was very friendly!

Staff was very pleasant. Was very courteous when I had to call him and give updates on our arrival time . Had our 3 rooms ready for us. Breakfast was not the best. But the stay at this property was an overall great experience. Glad I chose this location and would be a place we would come back to if we were in the area. Thank you for making the first leg of our family vacation a good start for the 9.of us.

Check-in and breakfast staff are very friendly, sincere compliments to them! But a few dealbreaker issues that compel an honest review:
1) Musty scent in the room and 2) the flooring felt sticky to walk on barefoot (had to clean my feet with a wet washcloth before climbing into bed).
Less important but added to the experience:
3) Towels had burnout rings and looked like residual coffee stain. 4) Linens were clean but had residual ink stains in some places.
5) Sounds from the hallway travel so it was hard to stay asleep.
6) Eggs, tots and gravy (although free) were not good... **Waffles were perfection though, please don't change those.

This hotel is very nice for an evening stay. The rooms are pretty basic but overall clean and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was good and the coffee machine was amazing.

The owner of this hotel is so nice and cares so much about making a good experience for his guests. This is a typical ride side two star hotel. Nice bc the rooms are inside with an elevator. It’s a little old but they are really trying to make it the best experience they can. It was safe. The breakfast had the usual waffle make and eggs and sausage etc. but it also had a yogurt machine with fruit and granola which was nice. They also have a latte coffee machine! For the 98.00 I paid it was a good safe option and pleasant experience at a two star hotel. Rooms are huge so good for families with kids.

Unlike other nice Sonesta properties I've stayed at, this one was disappointing. Very spartan. Bathroom was not very clean and shower/shower door were in need of repairs. Tiles need to be replaced, not simply painted over to look clean. I also couldn't log into the WiFi (I use a VPN and need bandwidth). Breakfast was very basic with reheated frozen egg pancakes and sausages, etc. No butter for toast or pancakes. No OJ, just apple juice. But the place was darn quiet, that's for sure...very few customers, after all.

I stayed 3 days, 2 nights.

The staff was nice and helpful. Breakfast was good, the room I stayed in was clean, and it looked like the pictures.

The only thing I would say needs help is the gym amenities. The treadmill was especially broken.

Outside of that, I liked my stay. There were hotels around, which made the area feel safe and quiet.

It was a 20-something-minute drive to Forsythe Park.

It was a calm weekend.

There was mold on the wall in the bathroom and it made the whole room smell like mold. We didn't realize it until we unpacked everything and opened the bathroom door. By that time we were too tired to ask for another room and move all our stuff. We just closed the bathroom door and got out of there fast the next morning.

Desk agent was rude upon check in. There was signs posted stating there was no early check-in and if early check-in was needed, an additional $50 charge would be added. When I went into the room, there was a wet towel behind the door shower glass door was extremely dirty and the phones did not work in the room. I switch rooms and the AC barely work and the property was not properly clean as the shower glass doors in that room was also dirty. My bed linens had stains on them but by this time I was tired and didn't bother to request another room change. It appears as though the property was renovated, but the renovations were subpar at best. The pictures on Expedia does not depict the physical property. I will never stay here again.

The property was clean and comfortable! But my biggest compliment goes to the manager. We ran into issues with a broken down vehicle and had to stay an extra day. He was so very kind and helpful, making a stressful situation a little easier for us to handle. It was beyond just good customer service!

We got in super late, like 1:00am late. So super exhausted! Front desk was super nice. But when we walked into the room it smelled absolutely horrible!!! Smelled like cat pee. If we weren't so tired we would have left. But we didn't want the hassle of trying to get a refund or changing rooms/hotels so late at night.

Not terrible, but not super. Staff was so friendly and kind. Room was okay, but not amazing. There was some stains on the wall near the trash, so I'm assuming maybe someone's drink that was thrown in and splashed. Towels were clean. No carpet on the floor and not 100% mopped but mostly clean. Not a terrible experience, but not my favorite

No carpet wow. Really nice room quiet (no street sounds) and comfortable bed and pillows. It’s rare. The breakfast buffet was perfect with something warm (eggs, meat, potatoes) and something cold (cereal, yogourt, apples). Waffles and different kind of bread. Coffee machine with many choices. Property is really clean. Applebee’s restaurant and Ruby Tuesday near (walkable 3 min)

Ech, I would not go back to this hotel, it's very old, breakfast was very modest, thanks to corn flakes and coffee. The staff was very nice but that's about the only posotive thing about this place.

Parking was easy. Room felt kinda out of date but was huge. All I really ask for is a clean bed and a fan that stays on constant. Bed was noisy. Shower felt kinda gross. Sometimes the toilet wouldn’t flush.

Conveniently located property to interstate for traveling. Dining options nearby. Staff was very nice. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Wi-Fi connection was pretty slow. Breakfast was good. We like to use the side entrance doors with our dog instead of the main lobby entrance but they were not functioning for some reason.

The location of the hotel is great. The staff was very helpful. The room was big and well designed. Bed and bedding was nice.
Breakfast was great. Would be an excellent hotel, except:

1. Fan in the bathroom was very noisy, probably needs to replaced.
2. Several tiles in the shower need to be replaced (completely worn out).
3. This is minor but TV was the smallest I have seen in a hotel room recently.
4. No AC in the elevator. Minor inconvenience now, may be bad during the summer.

With some maintenance the hotel would be great. Right now, 4/5.
