I hate to say but this was by the worst stay we have ever had at Sonesta ES. We went down upon getting into our room and let Candy at the front desk know the condition of our room. She felt bad, yet we still have not heard anything back. She was bothered by the situation and said she would talk to the night manager behind her after she got off the phone. I went down to the lobby as soon as we got into our room to let them know and show with photos the issues. There was hair all over the bathroom walls, some sort of liquid on the ceiling in the shower, hair on the towels, bathroom door was broken and split at the bottom making it rub along the floor when even attempting to close. Chairs at little table were damaged and the room smelt and still smells like a wet mildew basement. We have stay here 2-3 times a year for the past 4 years and this is the first and most disappointing stay.
I’m praying we don’t get sick and unfortunately we have no other place to go. Again I came w/ photos to show the front desk and she was shocked as well as grossed out. I cleaned the bathroom with what I could find but after flying all day and driving 3 hours to arrive to this it not a let down. We love staying here in the past & now with pending reservations for 3 rooms in May I’m quite concerned to say the least as we also have family coming in out of state & the odor of a musty mildew basement is not ok. Going on day 3, still no word from mgmt. Typical of Motel 6 not Sonesta ES.
The stay was fine, but the service was not especially great. I paid for early check 10a - 2p. I arrived at 12:15p and no room was ready. The clerk was a little bit rude but fine. I was probably not the only one that paid for early checkin. She stated she would call but I received no call although she stated she called 4 times (my phone did not ring). She must have miss dialed. I finally got out of my vehicle (after sitting inside for 2 1/2 hours to find my room was finally ready. THIS WAS UNEXCEPTABLE SINCE THEY ARE THE ONES THAT SENT THE EMAIL TO PURCHASE EARLY CHECKIN
Found this hotel to be very roomy and clean! Breakfast was hot and offered a variety of options and the kitchen attendant was very helpful everyday. The room came with a kitchenette which was very clean. Also, the AC is an individual central unit which was really nice. I had left a higher priced hotel because of the lack of humidity control in the room. When I realized I needed to stay a few days longer, they even let me keep my room and not have to check out and check in though I went through an online 3rd party booking app. The front desk hotel attendant even remembered my name. Overall, there was just a really nice and personal atmosphere here (I didn't feel like a number). The hotel is located in a convenient place (near stores/Walmart/restaurants, close by, I-65) and a safe well patrolled location. Visiting family member receiving critical care at UAB hospital.
The room appear to be clean and we always check our sheets first and they looked to be clean and changed.
The only problem was there was a large gap on our door that look like someone may have tried forced entry and when we checked to make sure we had left nothing in the room there was trash under our bed with a Gatorade bottle and a water bottle. it look like they sweep the trash under the bed instead of picking it up.
Other than that the room was comfortable and the AC works very well.
I don't understand why the thermostat is set to not go lower than 68- in this summer's heat! I mean we had folks visit us and it got stuffy real quick! The breakfast is boring- slow supply, more demand. The place is other wise comfortable, close to good eateries and clean.
