The first room I checked into the room had not been cleaned and the towels were on the floor and chair, along with the bed not being made. The second room was better - but be prepared to wipe down the handles and desk area. There was a dead stinkbug on the curtain and no hair dryer in room. You could smell folks were smoking weed in the evening, and there is a small non-disruptive homeless camp in the forested area behind the hotel. The side of the bed that was nearest the door was like sleeping in a pit - I had to turn the mattress around to sleep flatly. Definitely a good price point, the staff were amazing and I felt safe.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Disliked: Staff & service
First off… the room was great. Very clean, hot water, great bed. That’s said…beyond the fact that check in involved the least interaction possible on behalf of the person checking me in. No big deal. I don’t require good customer service while checking in. It’s a formality. What I do have an issue with is the five beeps. The five beeps produced by the smoke detector in the hallway outside of the room. Every 30 seconds 5 beeps. Like clock work. The first time I brought it up to the staff I was given a “oh yeah, someone is going to fix that”. And surprisingly NOTHING was done. So the second time it was brought up with me saying “is anything going to be done about the beeping sound?” (Mind you this was 3pm and I was facing the thought of sleeping through another night of beeping) I was given a “yes, the staff will fix it in the morning”.

Do not stay here

This was the first place I booked and when I got there, it was disgusting. It smelled like mildew and cigarettes. The rooms were disgusting and they even move me to another room and it was equally disgusting. Then when I requested to get my money back because I refuse to stay there They said no and it’s either you use it or you lose it and then when they talk to the hotels.com rep they told her that if I paid more money, I could get a better room. I assume whenever you are staying at a hotel it should be clean and if I have to pay more money to get a clean room that is absolutely crazy. This hotel is disgusting and they should be shut down.

The first room that we were checked into, had such a strong odor it smelled like mold, I immediately asked to be moved to another room because of the foul odor. I was then moved into the room directly across from the first one and it reeked of mold as well. The carpet in the room was damp and the water in the shower and sink did not drain. I have stayed at other Sonestas and this location unfortunately did not me the average Sonesta standards. Very dissatisfied.
