Property is very old and dated, furniture falling apart and stains all over chairs and couch. Glue holding tables together. Killed two roaches. Arrived late from a 13 hour drive..around 1am. Only stayed til the next morning then got up and left to find another hotel because this one was not up to standards. Will never book at Sonesta again

Home away from Home

The room was spacious yet cozy. My husband loved the recliner in the room! Having a laundry room on site was great, not having to pay to do laundry was a plus! We were a little disappointed not to get the fresh popped popcorn that was advertised in the lobby by the popcorn machine. Unfortunately we were told there wasn’t enough staff on site to make it. But other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

Checked in my room and there was a plastic bag with used tampons behind the recliner. I also stayed there for five days and saw the cleaning staff three times in the mornings, but they never came in and cleaned my room. Not sure why they would skip my room

Booked this hotel due to hotel our friends were staying while in town for sons graduation was fully booked. Sonesta was right across the street from their hotel and I booked the 1 bedroom thinking it would be a good place for us all to visit as they had small children traveling with them. We checked in and immediately left to go meet everyone so at first glance room seemed ok. When we returned that night I noticed the restroom was dirty and used bottles of toiletries were left on the shelf but didn’t think much of it but then I went in the kitchen and opened the dishwasher to find dirty dishes from the previous guest, went to the bedroom to plug in chargers and noticed the nightstand was sticky and empty water bottle next to the nightstand which was not ours. I decided at that point I would ask the front desk if they had cleaning wipes so I could wipe things down but they did not have wipes and said they have paper towel in the rooms. I explained room was dirty and needed to be wiped down with a cleaner. They mixed me a bottle of cleaner and gave me gloves and a couple of cloths which I appreciated. I decided to wipe everything down as I knew our friends would be visiting Not only the old water bottle but a bra wire next to the bed, clothing tags in the same area which made it very clear that side of the bed had not been cleaned. Ice maker did not work. I wiped down the living and found trash behind chair and next to the couch.
