Room was clean. Smelled great. Carpet “looked” clean. I was wearing colored socks during our stay and they got black from walking without slippers. Rooms look just like the online pics. Bathrooms are really nice and clean. Ours had a huge mirror with led lights, which was really nice. Overall, I’d stay here again and recommend the hotel to my friends and family. It was cheap and clean. Can’t ask for anything more.

Disliked: Amenities
We specifically booked a hotel that said they had an airport shuttle. When we arrived at MCO we called Sonesta Essential for a pickup. We were told "no more shuttle". We paid for an Uber to the hotel. Then the next morning we needed to go back to the airport, due to a delay in our cruise boat getting into port. I asked at the desk and was told they no longer have a shuttle. We paid for another Uber back to the airport to wait for cruise transportation. The hotel room was fine for one night. We didn't end up eating the continental breakfast because room was small and crowded. Next time we will stick with a chain hotel instead of getting a local hotel.

The hotel was very generic. The neighborhood di not look great. Yes you will be close to the airport but do not expect much more. The breakfast was ok. A women putting breakfast out could not bother to smile or respond to us after we said Good morning. There is a deluxe coffee/cappuccino type machine that either was not tuned on or just not working. We asked the woman and we just got a "no" You get what you pay for here if you pay under $100. I would not stay again.

Rooms definitely need a deep cleaning, the bathroom was not clean fully. Folding table to iron was stained. Elevators need updating and the reception was very rude. I understand the language barrier and the accent but they need to learn how to have patience with guest and respond in a nicely manner especially when asked nicely. Will definitely not stay here again.
