Three of four staff members were lovely to speak with; however, I did have to request towels twice in the same day. The majority of the staff genuinely were friendly and happy to assist. The AC unit was very loud at times, the door fell off the cabinet housing the fridge, there was not a convenient way to the outside courtyard. Overall it was not as well kept as the other Sonesta we have visited. The hotel could use some work but overall it was ok.

I arrived at 10:30 Friday night. Don’t know why the terminal wouldn’t take my card so I was forced to use my Cash App card (definitely don’t know when I’m getting my 100.00 incidentals back) the elevator is definitely unsafe! it closed on my 70 year old grandma’s arm 2x and it almost closed on my 7 year old daughter. Definitely would have taken her hand off had I not pulled her out of the way. There was a ring around the tub when we got into our room and no one had used the shower yet let alone taken a bath. Also there was a toothbrush and tooth paste that didn’t belong to us in the room which let me know the room wasn’t cleaned at all. I couldn’t ask for another because it was late and the very next day the hotel was sold out. They didn’t accept any cash onsite so I couldn’t buy water unless I had my card. I wanted to bring these concerns to someone’s attention but there was always a line and I was there for a church event so I was pressed for time. Tried to tell the young lady at the desk about it at checkout and she basically waived me off. Honestly I need a refund

The hotel is aging poorly. You can tell they have renovated it but it is still in rough shape in certain places. Seems maintenance may be lacking a bit. The place is fine, but the advertising has to be false. I paid for a King bed in a room with a pullout couch. I was given a handicap room with a bathroom that needs upgrading badly and 2 full size beds barely big enough for me to fit on. They were quite firm. The advertising shows sizeable rooms with a quiet area around it and a nice courtyard with pool. It is not close to that and apparently the rooms are all the same size. Needless to say not getting what I paid for and the misleading stuff turned me off. But otherwise it’s a good place for a 1 night stay

False advertisement

The balcony was subpar. The curtains were stained from water damage( I hope) the couch was stained. The office chair had a burn in the cushion. In addition to that when we called to ask when was breakfast was served; we were advised from 7am-10am. However, when we came down to ask where was the breakfast the desk attendant said they don’t serve breakfast at the “Select “ locations. My asked are you sure to the attendant and she said there is a group that made reservations for breakfast. The website stated there is a continental breakfast with no mention of for a select group. It was also plastered in the elevator that breakfast was available. I have no desire to state at your location again. There was no ice machine on my floor. Please see all pictures included.
