Pretty Good, will be back.
It was a good stay. I was on business, If your on business, best to upgrade the Wi-fi. Had a one bedroom, quite spacious. Full sized fridge and dishwasher. Coffee maker was clean. Microwave was clean too. Bed was medium firm, felt a little droopy in the middle. Free breakfast was hit or miss, but had a nice variety. Rooms were quiet, despite construction going on at 8:00am on a Sunday morning. It's stopped by lunch. Great AC. Felt secure, pet friendly and did not smell like pets. Bright clean linens. Good sized T.V.'s. No bugs, dead or alive. Quiet hours at night with security guard doing rounds. No barking during the night. Staff was friendly and helpful. Pool was well kept, no smoking hotel. Nothing to complain about. Will stay again, perhaps not on the ground floor and if possible away from construction, but I was able to relax and get my work done. Good restaurants in all directions of this hotel.

Room could use a deep clean. Carpet, couch, vanity should be replaced. Hallways are dull and could use updating. The walls need sound proofing. The size and layout of the suit was excellent. The pool loungers could use cushions. Loungers were great but needed padding. There was quite a bit of construction, which resulted in some interesting folks hanging around the buildings at all hours of the night. Breakfast was ok. 8:30 is a bit early to shutdown breakfast IMO.

Nice setup a large living area with kitchen, full fridge etc. The main problem was the air quality in the room. A strong mildew stink was present in our room, #243. The breakfast was average for the style of hotel. However, the decaf coffee was unmarked. It did not say decaf anywhere on the container. The staff said it was decaf and I hope they were right since the caffeine and my heart don't get along. They had the mini transport trolleys available to haul stuff to and from the rooms which was good.

Room 329 should no longer be assigned.
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.

Early Check / Ripoff
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
