Terrible place to stay
The pool was out of service, ice machine broken, no bar or restaurant on site as advertised. Elevator was dirty. Room and hallways smelled like cigarettes. Wall AC is under a shelf/cabinet- no air flow. Shower was broken and had low water pressure. TV was messed up. Sheets and pillow cases had an odd odor.

This hotel shouldn’t be booking rooms. After we checked in we got a note under our door saying we wouldn’t have access to water the next day from 8:00am-3:00pm. They knowingly let us check in and did nothing to compensate us for the inconvenience. Water is a necessity and essential. The outlets in the room also don’t didn’t work and both the pool and gym were under maintenance.

It was very chaotic checking in. A lot of workers upfront and they all seemed confused. Once I got my check in a worker took me to my room to check my remote and made me very uncomfortable and it was just strange. Beside that it was a fine hotel. No pool.

It was clean, I guess?
The place was clean. Also, the pool, the workout room, an elevator, 2 out of 3 ice machines, the bar, the curtain Rod, and several lights were broken or out of order during my stay. It was odd. So much was broken. I had one towel for my three days there. No one came into the room to do the daily cleanings. The breakfast was cereal with no milk.

Bad as it gets!
I wanted to contact expedia and could not so I had no choice but to stay. The entire hotel was dirty. On some floors you could smell cigarette smoke on others dogs. Had to look at 3 rooms to find one that was suitable. One had the commode sitting in the room. The hallways were old and dirty. The elevator was dirty. There was no breakfast even though one was advertised. I beleive that the only way I would stay in another Sonesta would be a full refund for this terrible experience. The only good thing was the front stay were as helpful as possible.

Sheets had red marks on them so I asked for new sheets. The night clerk offered to change rooms. I said no due to the fact I was already in. She gave me the sheets. Also someone was smoking or something. Had to put towels under the door to stop the smoke from entering. I slept. Woke up. Checked out. All fine.
