We were very pleasantly surprised by our stay - the staff were very friendly and helpful, the bed was comfortable and the room clean, the breakfast was better than we had anticipated, the location was very convenient. For the price we paid, we think we got exceptional value and would certainly consider staying again if we are in the area,

My husband and I had to switch rooms not1, not 2 but 3 times! First room, air conditioner was loud and every few minutes would bang. Second room, my husband took a shower and the bathtub peeled, it was resurfaced with something that was not dried or sealed. It was so gross! The tub should’ve been replaced not covered up. Third room was fine, until the shower was turned in and we had no hot water. We had to wait for a maintenance person to come and check it and fix it. The faucet was very loose and he mentioned that it was just replaced and that the person who installed it did it wrong. He said he would have them fix it after our stay was done. Expedia refunded for me for two nights.

The property was very nice! The pool however was very dirty and you had to get a pool towel from the check in desk. It would have been nice to know that, before getting into the pool. The breakfast was not good at all. The fruit that my kid grabbed, was covered in mold. The room was pretty nice, comfortable bed.

Staying at the Sonesta Essential Orlando Airport made my trip completely hassle free. The rooms are freshly renovated, clean and packed with handy amenities like a mini fridge, microwave and a massive TV

What stood out:
Prefect Location: Incredible proximity to the airport and local shopping, making logistics seamless
Top Notch Service: The staff is welcoming, efficient, and ready to help at any hour.

It’s is easily one of the best budget friendly high comfort choices in the area. I will definitely look to stay here again on future visits!

When checking out no one was there, whenever we entered the building the same guy was there and playing YouTube ignoring us, also the bed sheets didn’t fit the bed and kept popping off

The lobby will have you fooled thinking this is a clean hotel. As soon as we stepped of the elevator there was a smell. I couldn’t figure out what it was but later figured it was a moldy smell. The room has the same smell as the hallway. Mattresses are cheap and thin. The bathtub had rush stains but the real problem was the ROACH greeting us at the front door crawling right across it after we returned from the store. We immediately retrieved our things and requested a refund. Due to me booking with a third party they had to verify with the person at the desk. They called multiple times with no answer. I was still in the parking lot so I went back in and that person was just sitting there watching the phone ring because he knew the third party was calling and I told him you need to answer that phone so the company could process the refund. I waited to make sure he advised correctly. If there is one ROACH there are plenty more. STAY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!

The hotel is surrounded by construction projects. Several male construction workers were staying at the hotel. At the end of their workday, they gathered in groups of 10 - 15 in 2-3 places in the parking lot, drinking beer and socializing into the late night. They had no ill intent, yet their presence created a safety concern for us.

Walking into the hotel it smelled amazing and looked nice and new.
Getting to the third floor, it seemed like a different hotel. Air smelled stale, loud air conditions unit, dark hallways.
The room was clean. The sheets didn’t fit the bed, so they kept rolling up. I had to screw the cable back into the wall for the tv to work. It was difficult, as the wall part was bent.
Lots of things still said Best Western.
Not terrible, at least it was clean

The property is well located, but feels a bit old and there are some things that require maintenance or need to be replaced. Breakfast was simple but fine, which is enough on this category. The floor mat/carpets on the room were wet and the fire alarm started beeping during the night, while we were laying on the bed. We asked for a room change, and we got a better room. Staff was kind and helpful.
