Disappointed

So when I called the first two times I asked him for a first floor room because of our dogs. We did not get that so they had to look for a room for us. Then when they found one we got into the room, the room was somewhat clean. There was things in the microwave and there was things left over in the drawers. This room was not very cleaned at all. They did offer us another room, but my son who has autism was already relaxing and laying down. So we just stayed in the room. But we did have room service come to the room and clean it. But I still felt like that room that we stayed in was not very clean. Plus that when we took a shower in the bathtub the tub just started tub, with water because the drain was not draining fast enough. I used to be a manager for a hotel for housekeeping. I really think that the managers need to look into all the rooms after the housekeeping is done cleaning the room. Because I feel like sometimes they are not doing their jobs. Because this is the second time we stayed at a hotel like this, and it was the same way. Again thank you very much. I don’t think we will be staying at this hotel ever again.

The stay was amazing. We came with our two year old and practically had the pool and basketball court area to ourselves every time we went. Our room was clean, the only thing is housekeeping is once a week so if you need towels or toiletries you need to go to the front desk. The breakfast was yummy and changed somewhat daily. The staff was helpful and friendly. Do keep in mind parking will have a $10 payment a night, I wasn’t expecting it since we paid for the stay. Overall it was a great experience.

Great location , close to many restaurants , great breakfast staff but be aware there is only once a week housekeeping service which is not mentioned on the booking. I asked concierge at the second day why room was not cleaned and they informed me it is just once a week , then they suggested me the option of light housekeeping which you need to request. I requested for next 3 days but no one showed up, I even asked receptionist but they apologized for being full house every time and easily they handed General Manager business card. I understand is not their fault and they have to follow management instructions (and even no staff to help for action). I was really greatfull if we had light housekeeping once during our stay as respect but never happens( even I wouldn’t mind to pay extra for cleaning since we were travelling with family). I travel a lot for work and staying in different hotels around the world but that was my first and last time staying at Sonesta ES Suites brand. Hope Management team/owner take these comments into consideration.

The Malones Take San Diego

Thanks for Hosting us! The stay was very nice as my family had a good time for the weekend in San Diego. The Hotel stay, although it fit our family of 5 comfortably, wasnt as cleanly as we could have wanted. There were stray hairs throughout, the sink was clogged (but was rectified once we mentioned to the front office),the body wash was empty, and the room was very humid feeling. There is also a $100 refundable fee that they didnt mention when we first came in to pay for our booking. But aside from all the critical points I mentioned, we did have a great time as the hotel was close to alot of awesome stores, restaurants and the coronado beaches (about 15 min)! Plus the breakfast was a huge highlight and changed per day. So if you are looking for a good place to stay for the price, this is a great option just dont be adraid to communcicate if you need something! -The Malones take San Diego

We drove all the way from Northern California. 8 hours or so on the road. We got there at 5:30pm. I went to checked in and was told that unfortunately, the room is not ready yet. The guy at the front desk said it will be ready in 20 minutes. I was too tired and said OK, that's fine. I asked where the room is and we can just wait outside. The guy at the front desk named Benjie told me ok, just don't go in yet because the person cleaning might be surprised. I said ok and he told me that he will call when it's ready. We were in the car for about an hour. It's almost 7pm and the room is still not ready. Which I don't understand since the check in time is supposed to be 4pm. So I called the front desk and see what's going on. But instead of helping with the situation, we were told that we were told that it's not ready yet. But that was beyond the point. We were tired and my kids are in the back seat. We were all tired and ready to get some rest. When I was checking in, another family came in to check in and they got to their room right away. What's worse is that the bathtub is somewhat clogged. The water doesn't go down right away. Ceiling is too thin that we can hear footsteps on the room on top. We've stayed at other sonesta and never had this issues. So always try to book with Sonesta. But this by far the worse one I've been at. I will never book here ever again. The only reason why i booked this is because the one i booked before, the one on Mira messa was sold out.

Great staff, OLD property

The Staff were all wonderful, kind and accommodating. The free breakfast was the best I have ever had in a hotel. The problems we had were all related to the age and maintenance of the building. The elevator was broken, as was the hot tub (we had really been looking forward to the hot tub!). The couch in the room was horrible with a hard ridge that digs into your back. There is a fireplace but no wood to burn (definitely not a gas unit), who brings wood with them?? The bed sagged in the middle so we both rolled to the center. Then, on our last day, the hot water heater had an issue and they required us to move to a new room, we had had enough and decided to leave a day early. Once again though, the staff was very kind and did not charge us for the last night, even though we were past the check out time.
