Would rather stay in a Loves parking lot.

Dingy and minimal. Gaps around the room door that give you a rare glimpse into the hallway even with the door shut so you can really see who is knocking. Breakfast includes delicacies like bread in a sandwich bag. This sonesta is so "essential" they provide one towel. Luckily the window was able to be opened wide so if I came to my senses before spending the night I had the option to throw myself down to the parking lot.

I have stayed here several times for Doctor appointments. Usually average. This time they put me on the first floor in a room adjoining the lobby/breakfast area. Besides the steady people traffic on the main floor, at 5 AM a group of workers converged for conversation and laughter. Not pleasant when you plan to sleep until 7:30! Lots of vehicles revving engines and beeping horns before 6 am. They really need to up the breakfast selections too. Most all carbs, no fruit, no protein.

Very run down. Heater broken. Tv remote broken. The front desk staff was nice and tried to help but the room we were assigned is not fit to be rented out. We were exhausted and it was clean which is the reason we didn’t move to another hotel

If I could give zero stars I would. We walked into the room and it had a horrible smell, we found a bag of feces behind the door, talked to the front desk she put us in another room and the toilet had feces in it and urine was on the floor beside the toilet. The ac/heat unit did not work!!!!

The second night I was there. I got locked out of my room and the guy downstairs. Couldn't get my door unlocked. Then made me change rooms when he finally did and didn't even want to bring the keys to the new room upstairs. While my stuff had to be left in a room with the door open, they didn't do anything to do a price adjustment or anything. Actually, I should've wanted a refund from the whole thing, but it was one of the worst experiences i've ever had

Horrible

Place is old and falling apart. Shower curtain rod falling off the bathroom wall. Refrigerator in room noisy. Wasn't clean. I wouldn't recommend this place for a person or pet.
