The help and customer service was horrible between communication, being disrespectful towards me and no accommodations were made for my situation. I tried calling to tell staff I was going to be showing up later than I originally planned. They were rude on the phone with me. So I went through Expedia to try and resolve the issue and they were very nice and rebooked so I could now have an early morning check in, with being fully aware I would still be paying for the night before. I called after getting off with the Expedia worker to verify with the hotel that my stay was changed correctly. They verified it was. After working my 12 hour shift at the hospital I went to the hotel to check into my room where they told me that I had cancelled my whole 3 nights and that they were full and would not have a hotel room for me till the afternoon. After talking with many different staff they finally got me into a room. I was appreciative but when I got into my room, I found out my room hadn’t been inspected by the cleaning crew and my shower did not work. I tried calling back down and they told me there was nothing they could do for me and maintenance wasn’t there yet. So I asked for a refund and I told them I would find another hotel to stay at. They proceeded to say they would reimburse me but I had to go through Expedia so that’s exactly what I did. They then denied my reimbursement when Expedia called them. Overall this experience was absolutely horrible and I would never come back.

We stayed here while we were in town for a family function. It was close, clean, and safe. The staff were very friendly. We'll probably be back.

I was not told about a fee for a pet. When I disputed the charge the manager-Jane Eyer- cancelled the reservation. She refused to provide a refund. In fact when Orbitz called she said that I had refused the fee. I had told her that I would pay it and dispute it later. I have never experienced anything like this.

Gave away a booked room for 3 people and put into a king room. Staff comment of sold out and if you don’t like it find another hotel. Had to wait for a roll bed. Had to locate staff for extra pillow and sheets and towel. Had to locate staff again for coffee for room and was told they’re out but you can buy coffee in the morning. Bar staff not around and when showed up was unable to make mixed drinks. Wallpaper peeling in suite. Shower drain plugged and tub fills—that staff did not care about. Convenient for a College graduation but would not recommend

10 out of 10 do not recommend.
We checked in for a business training trip. The check in process was smooth enough, I provided our tax exemption form to the front desk person and got our room keys. Upon entering the room, it was immediately apparent that the last person in the room either vaped or used THC materials as the room smelled heavily. The bathroom had water still in the bathtub, which was gross. At checkout I inquired about the state tax still being on the bill. I was told that because I booked through Hotels.com that the charged needed to be taken care of through that site. This was not the case. Because Hotels.com had already paid the hotel, the funds need to come from Sonesta, which has not been helpful in sorting this out. Needless to say, my city will not be staying at this hotel again or any other associated with Sonesta. For the price of the room any reasonable person would expect at the minimum a clean room. And the run around about the tax exemption is unprofessional and unacceptable.
