Our room was not ready when we arrived. We waited 2 hours past the check in time to be told our selected room would not be available. A smaller room was offered. It was too late to go elsewhere. The delay caused us to be late for a family dinner which was the whole reason we came to the area. A straight up status when arrived would have allowed us to make alternative arrangements.

The staff was great, the place was pretty worn and beaten up. Dusty all along the edges of the floors, and furniture old and banged up. Breakfast was good one day, but the next day all the food, coffee, plates were gone a half hour after it opened.

The only reason I won’t give this hotel a one star is honestly because of the customer service during our stay. My family booked two nights at this hotel, however, after just a few minutes of checking in and sitting on the couch, two of my daughters and I started itching extremely bad. I was not aware that this was a pet friendly hotel, and was thinking that perhaps it was pet dander, or hopefully not fleas. So I called the front desk, and the lady that assisted me was very kind, and was able to somehow find another room for us, although they were booked solid. The second room smelled better (first room smelled like someone had been smoking on the balcony). However, it was still dingy and dirty on the walls, doors and bathroom area. When I realized this, I decided we would not be staying there the second night. We checked out early the next day and I requested a refund for just that second night. While I understand cancellation policies can be strict, this hotel was completely inflexible under the circumstances and refused to give me a refund. I am extremely disappointed because they have high ratings. Also, had it it not been in the state it was in when we visited, my family would’ve stayed both nights. I am very dissatisfied with our experience and had to book somewhere else, spending more money because we could not stay at Sonesta. I will not be book with this hotel again.

This room had levels of disgust that I haven’t seen in a long time. We got two of the two room suites and as we all finally unpacked and were getting ready to climb into bed, I opened the pull out bed and it was disgusting and covered in brown stains. Instead of having my daughter sleep on that I told her that she could sleep with me and then when we went to crawl into my bed, it also had stains on the sheets. It’s 10:30pm and I’m exhausted and now go down to the front office with the pictures of the stains l. The manager on duty apologized and had a solution of giving me a cover and sheet set for the pull out couch. I told him absolutely not would I put my daughter on that stained mattress even with a cover. Gross!! For my bed, it was only the sheets so he said that he would send the sheets up to our room. They brought the sheets up in a bag and just hung the bag on the handle of our door. I changed the sheets and collapsed into bed but still grossed out. Unfortunately this is a hotel that we will officially take off of our list. The building itself was rundown with things peeling off the wall and needing some major renovations. But the basics really should be a clean bed.
