Upon arrival we walked into a very small room there was a hole punched in the ceiling, the bathroom counter was sloped so things rolled off the counter, the toilet seat would not stay up, a gap between the casing on the bathroom door 3/4 of an inch, the blow dryer was supposed to be attached to the wall when I took it off the whole thing fell down no screws, the free breakfast was a joke, the house keeping never cleaned our room, had to ask for towels every day, the tv didn’t work well battery’s weak, staff was not friendly, pillows were the size of throw pillows had to buy two new ones to sleep on, we had shut our door when we left came back at night our door and the one next to ours was both open we had nothing missing in our room. All in all a terrible stay especially for what we paid.

Friendly staff but filthy

Our room was shabby (toilet rusted, leaky faucets, cabinet door off hinges) and very dirty (trash left on floors, hair in tub, grime on baseboards, floor and surfaces). What redeemed it at all was the friendly front desk staff, the location, and other guests were quiet.

Not a good stay

My wife and I have stayed here at least twice before. This was NOT a good stay...1.the tv would not turn on. I reported it but there was no action. 2/the toilet water ran consistently. I reported it and no action was taken. 3/ I turned on the heater for a few minutes to heat the room and a electrical smell came out of the vents and set off the smoke alarm. 4/ the reservation desk could not give me a receipt because the printer was not working. I hope this will not be the case at Sonesta, if we return

Fine for the Price

It's fine. It's a significantly cheaper rate then the typical hotel I stay at but there are downgrades associate with it. There's usually a maintenance task needed in the room whether the drains are slow and need to be snaked or the toilet seat won't stay up. That being sad, staff is friendly and I've stayed here multiple times.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and I appreciate that very much. The facilities were another story. First impressions are important--the front door to the lobby was partially our of order Our room did not have a smoke detector--just the socket where it should be. The tops of the edging titles in the bathroom were dirty, with small debris along the edges and corner or the bathroom. There was no bar soap in the bathroom, and only one plastic cup with the ice bowl. I had a do-not-disturb sign on the door until we left the first morning around 9:10 but took it off when we departed for the day. When we arrived in the evening, our room had been untouched. Also, no Bible in the room, and the front-desk attendant said they are not placed in the rooms. Motel rooms are not complete without Bibles.I did like the carpet in the stairwells, and we used the stairwells frequently. Overall the quietness was good, and the air conditioning worked great. The beds were quite comfortable.Thanks for allowing me to point out some items that need serious attention.
