The pool is not open that was a lie then we get to our room there’s a bonnet and sex toy in the bed “how was the room cleaned prior to our stay”? It’s states breakfast well they have nun front desk stated there hasn’t been none since they took over lastly there are no pots to cook at all in the unit no dish soap and then the luggage carrier broke into pieces old and rusty! I was very unsatisfied with my stay ! Hopefully as it get renovated you guys do better ! You can’t even get a cup of coffee glad star bucks was right there !

Bed was clean and comfortable. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Kitchen cabinets were completely empty. Floors in room were in need of repair or replacement. Half the toilet paper holder was broken off the wall, so the rolls were set on the back of the toilet which is impossible to reach when needed so I put a roll on the bathtub. Electronic key did not always work so the front desk had to let me in and reset it several times. At least it worked the night I was out late so nobody was manning front desk. Halls were generally quiet but since my room was near housekeeping, I did sometimes hear them going in and out. Also heard garbage disposal from other rooms but that did not bother me. I didn't see any restaurants etc nearby and no complimentary breakfast. Overall served my purpose which was a place to stay while visiting family after the first hotel I reserved months ago canceled my reservation before I arrived and said no rooms were available due to a long-term contract being extended. I didn't bring a car but it appeared the lot was full at night.Snack and beverage vending machines in lobby.

Room was not cleaned. Floors were dirty. Sofa was dirty. Microwave didn’t work and was dirty with some greasy substance. Kitchen light out. Door to bedroom coming off the hinges. Sink in lower bathroom was slow to drain. Vents were dirty. This was important because elderly parents have respiratory issues. We were here because of the death of an immediate family member. No one is on duty after 10pm or before 9am. We couldn’t wait to check out so we left room key in drop box and checked out at 7:00 am. This hotel should be taken off the vendor list. I will never bring my elderly parents to stay here again?

For an inexpensive hotel, this was pretty good. There were a few things that could have been better: there was only one trash can in the suite, the toilet paper holder was broken. On the positive side there was an ice maker in the refrigerator and the suite was two stories with ample sleeping options.

Furniture old the bed was hard 250 dollar deposit for what, there was nothing in the room but an iron. The pool was covered, the gym was storage.The picture are definitely misleading.

The entire hotel smelled of weed. Room smelled and had flies in the sink. Almost every surface had stains: carpet, walls, couches, beds. We booked since it had a kitchen and they provided nothing to use in the kitchen so it was essentially useless. Not blankets on the bed. Sheets only. Two tiny pillows on the bed. Major water damage in bathroom with rotting floor boards.

Renovation needs to be done like last year. Will not recommend to anyone!!

They did not include breakfast (despite the website saying they would). Instead we were told we had a kitchen and could make our own breakfast. There was an odd smell in the lobby and throughout our room. There were multiple parts of the room that had been damaged by previous guests.

The air conditioning in the room did not work. I called the front desk and told them and the lady said \"We have never had A/C problems in that room before\". She stated that someone would come look at it but no one ever came. After 45 minutes, I just returned the keys and checked out. The lady at the deak said she would let someone know and that I would be reimbursed for my one night stay, that never happened. Still waiting for reimbursement.

The staff was very friendly and they did their best to help us out but a few things were lacking. Shortage on blankets so would've been nice to have instead of just bed sheets but didn't freeze, you can control the temperature in the rooms. The beds and tub and such were clean but we did see and kill two cockroches, the bathroom needed a sweep and the rooms smelled of smoke. But for the price it was a good stay. They have quiet rules so there wasn't much noise and the beds were comfy. Staff was very accommodating to their abilities and tried their best to help. Very appreciated it and would stay there again.

When we arrived we were told the keycard was not working and a staff member had to let us back in our room each time we left. The listing indicates late checkout was available but when I asked I was told it cost $35 and would only be extended from 11 to 12. The whole building smelled like weed. Our belongings smelled long after leaving. There was not any cookware, plates, flatware available in the kitchen, so being listed as \"full kitchen\" was very misleading as the kitchen is essentially useless. No breakfast, bed was tiny with 2 small pillows and no blanket just a sheet.

The place is very outdated. Bedroom floor had a yellow stain on it. Shampoo, conditioner, and soap dispensers were removed from the wall with just the remnants showing. No paper towel towels, dish soap or towels provided in the kitchenette, and only one plate, spoon and a couple mugs. One of the drawers was broke. Handle missing off another. No comforters on either bed only a sheet. No hairdryer in the rooms.(was able to at least get one from the front desk, though) One of the bedrooms would not cool down., just overall a pretty disappointing experience. Pictures make the hotel decent, but it’s pretty rundown.

The 1st floor smelled of marijuana. None of the exterior doors were locked although they had a place to use your key to enter. There was a fire the 2nd night and I couldn’t get in. I went to a relative’s house and called for 3 hours but the phone was always busy. I drove back and found I could get in but the elevator wasn’t working. There was a sign saying to use the stairs but no stairs were seen. There was a sign at the front desk with a number to call as they didn’t staff the desk after 10. I had to go outside of the building to get to the stairs. Again- the door wasn’t locked-anyone could access the stairs and upper floors.

This property is advertised as a hotel with a functioning in-room kitchen; however, the experience felt more like staying in an apartment complex than a hotel, particularly based on the condition of the common areas and the overall environment. The kitchen itself had no utensils, dishes, or glasses, making it unusable without bringing your own supplies.
Cleanliness was a concern. The carpets were filthy and furniture was heavily worn, and the air filter was dated 2/2024 and it looked like it. Towels left lint or debris on the skin after use.
The building was not staffed 24/7, and two entrances were unsecured 24 hours a day. There was no coffee maker in the room and no coffee available in the lobby.
Hot water was limited due to a small water heater and leaking showers. Bedding quality was below expectations, with small throw pillows.
The biggest issue was inaccurate advertising. Had expectations been set more clearly, I would have prepared differently or chosen another property. Additionally, although I disclosed traveling with a pet at booking and check-in by signing a consent and paid the stated total, I was later informed of an unexpected additional $70 pet fee. We paid $600 for 3 nights.
Clearer communication and improved cleanliness and maintenance would significantly improve the experience.

The Sonesta Simply Suites Memphis East Poplar Pike should not operate as a hotel until a complete renovation is done to the entire facility. The staff I encountered were friendly and pleasant. The lobby area was clean and the furniture in this area appeared to be in good condition. The condition of my hotel room, the elevator and the hallways are clear signs that the hotel is not in the best shape. The rear entry door to the building was never locked during the two days of my stay. The door appeared to be broken. My room was in terrible condition - the carpet was dirty and had stains throughout, there were dirt marks on the wall, a hole in the wall in near the dining area, the vents were full of dust, the room smelled of cigarette smoke, the baseboard in the kitchen was damaged, the oven needed a deep cleaning, the bathtub faucet had a consistent leak, the ceiling in the bathroom was peeling from water damage, and there were roaches in the bathroom.

The bed had no blanket only a sheet, when i called the front desk they stated they didnt have anymore. I had to sleep with my sweatsuit in to stay warm. The shower curtain rod was bent so the curtain couldnt stay closed so the shower head had to be angled to avoid water goi g in the floor. There were no utensils, glasses or plates in the kitchen area to use and one of the cabinets in the kitchen was broken
