"I like Stay here at Sonesta Essentials it's nice and clean and they have housekeeping daily. "

"Overall nice property for the money"

"The BEST place we’ve stayed at, room and amenities are perfect and meets our expectations! We will definitely stay again when we’re in the area!"

"The waterpark was the highlight. Just beware of hours it's open. Overall happy with stay, but service was weak and whole facility was a bit tired feeling. Our bathroom had a loose floor tile, for example. Upon check in, the lady told me I missed initializing the line by the room number, which was blank and she never told me. I didn't sign until she handed me my room key. No friendly welcome, no direction to room or elevators, pool closed 10 minutes early, no coffee in lobby (breakfast only). Multiple times no one was present at front desk--hiding in back room. No newspapers. Music from pool area extremely loud in rooms, so beware if poolside room and you go to bed early. No yogurt or toast at breakfast even. Breakfast seemed late (7am) but that was weekend, so maybe that's normal. But yes, it worked out fine for my needs and I would stay again if price is reasonable. Just lots of areas of improvement."

"The only reason I gave a 5 Star is because the gal that worked the front desk and helped with breakfast was very nice and helpful. The apartment was dirty."

"Property looks good from a distance but up close they white"
