The front desk woman that helped me was great. The room could have been cleaned a little better. Multiple stains on pillows and sheets. Didnt have a fresh scent to it upon entry either like you do usually when you walk into a hotel room.

Staff is friendly but not professional. 3rd floor is horrible a lot of open abandoned rooms room was just okay bathroom floors not clean. Bed wasn’t comfortable. A lot of possible homeless people live there or maybe weekly renting not sure. Stingy on towels called every day for clean towels. They do have complimentary breakfast stops at 9. If u looking for something just to get by stay there. If u looking for a pleasant stay go somewhere else. The only positive thing I could say is they are directly across from the airport BTR…..

The room was spacious and clean. The door was very difficult to close and lock. We were awakened at 5am by the loud talking of the breakfast staff. At checkout, the front desk agent was sound asleep on the front desk. Without being acknowledged, I simply left the keys on the desk and walked away.

The property is not in good condition. The room I was given was not properly cleaned. I was approached in the parking lot by someone pretending to work there, who asked to use my cell phone. When I went in to advise staff, they were in the midst of a virulent argument with a patron. Mildew and Spiders in the shower (I’d asked for a room with a tub). Outdated, broken furnishings. I checked out after an hour. Sacrificed $79 for this. I’ve learned my lesson about Sonesta properties. I ask that Expedia examine this chain and be more discerning about the hotels you offer.

The sheets had white stains on them, there was no soaps in the bathroom, the sink knob was broken, hair was in the bed, floors were sticky, hand prints on the wall, smelled like an old cigarette, and it was people knocking on the walls all hours of the night

Met some cool people, third floor had a lot of messed up rooms. No ice machines. No laundry room. No gym. Elevator was scary. There was no sign on building or by the room. Pool was extremely dirty

this was the worst hotel stay we ever had. pictures and positive reviews were much better that our experience. the room was dirty. found trash under the bed. bathroom was super dirty to the point of us refraining taking a shower. floors - seemed like they weren't cleaned in a while. went down for breakfast in the morning, but all that was there was cereal with no milk anywhere, instant oatmeal packages, old bananas and a few apples and that was literally it. Included breakfast was one of the reasons I chose the hotel. It looked more like a dorm than the hotel. there was 4 of us staying in the room and we only had 2 towels in the bathroom. I'd recommend to avoid the place if you care about cleanliness and service. We were literally afraid of touching things (and we are not the people with phobias or anything like that)

Not the best but not the worst. Minor issue became a bigger issue (had to change rooms due to toilet not working) and they told me I overlooked that a $100 deposit fee was required even though the room was paid for in advance. It is supposed to be refunded in 3 days. I will do a better job of following up with the actual property. Bed was comfortable but walls are thin.
