Where do I start? I stayed less than half an hour. The first room was filthy. As were the hallways and elevators. I asked to be moved. Second room was equally dirty. Everything was worn and torn. The hallways smelled terrible like old cooked food. I couldn’t even bring myself to sit down. I received a full refund and was happy to find somewhere clean and comfortable. This place needs to be closed and completely remodeled. Worst Sonesta I have ever been to and I have traveled extensively.

The property was very convenient to many dining options and entertainment areas. However, the property was very rundown. There were a lot of cracks and holes in the walls and ceiling, the lighting was dim, and the whole thing was in need of a facelift.

hotel was older, but not horrible. Spots here and there that need attention, but nothing that hindered my stay. It did not offer a breakfast, which was a bummer, but also understandable since there was a kitchenette in the room. Room was large and bathroom was nice.

Excellent Stay

Hotel staff was very professional and helpful. There was an issue with my original room and they offered a new room before we even arrived and even provided snacks and waived the $20 hold. Definitely above and beyond.

Would not stay again

The people working the desk were nice, and the beds were comfortable, but the hotel is quite run down. The carpets in the hallway were soiled and did not appear to get vacuumed. The chairs in the room were worn to the stuffing, and there were gobs of caulk around the tub's faucet. People cook in their rooms and the smell in the hallway was overpowering.

You get what you pay for

Well, it’s cheap. But that is very clearly reflected in its operation. Have to pay for parking (or park in a different parking lot, they couldn’t tell me what parking was theirs and what wasn’t so it kind of felt like a scam). I didn’t ever need much so my interactions with employees was limited. The biggest reason for my rating is the cleanliness. I really question it. Too much for me to be able to stay again and I will instead pay up to go to the Comfort Inn down the road instead.

This hotel is ok, but just ok. It's not a 5 star property, so there are no amenities as expected. It was clean, also as expected. But... Our room was next door to the laundry room, so every morning the staff and the laundry equipment were very loud. Which is surprising because there's was no maid service. We stayed eight days, and no maid service. Yes I know this has been a trend with hotels, but you asked for my opinion, and I think maid service is a requirement at least every other day. So, bottom line, this hotel is ok. Just ok. I won't be staying here again.

I loved that there was an appliance library for additional amenities like teakettles and crockpots. The room was cozy and clean and had everything we needed to feel at home. The staff was kind and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
