I came in town to visit my farther in the hospital. I normally stay in a Hilton property but i was trying to save money and chose the hotel it was a mistake on my part. The sheets where dirty bathroom was dirty remote for the tv didn't work had a smell in the room like mildew. The outside is very deceiving looks decent on the outside. Doors for outside entry ways where propped open because card access didn't work. Would not recommend.
Room was dirty, bath tub was disgusting. No toilet tissue

They need to stop advertising about breakfast. The staff is the best thing about this hotel, they are amazing even under pressure. Furniture is okbut needs new bedding . I love that it is not directly on the main thoroughfare but
Place should be shut down immediately. 0/2 on clean rooms, and 0/3 on decent beds. Using roommate light up hallways. When was last inspection here seriously?

This is a pretty good place to stay. Very quiet and clean for the most part. Staff is friendly and prompt. Would definitely stay here again.
The first room I was sent to the door did not work and I could not get in where you put in the key was sent. I was moved to the room next-door, which had trash in the bathroom trashcan from the previous person and broken in half soap on the counter. They advertise free breakfast on Expedia and in the email confirmation I got. They had a breakfast area as well but they told me they don’t serve breakfast anymore. The odor of marijuana in the hallways is horrible.
Horrible the friend of staff was never there on top of that. There was a constant of lack of care for any of his guests there Mr. B, the owner and his wife until very careless it says it has free broke. It has no purpose at all I highly would not recommend this place for my own dog.
The hotel advertised breakfast on Expedia. However, when I asked what time breakfast was served, the maintenance/front desk staff told me they have not offered breakfast “in a while.”
Check-in was also extremely unorganized. When I arrived, I waited approximately 30–45 minutes for someone to come to the front desk. Once the clerk arrived, they had to call the property owner at home to confirm my reservation.
I specifically requested a non-smoking king room, but I was initially assigned a smoking room with two queen beds. The room was dirty, and the bedding was old, worn, and torn. The following day, I was moved to a king room, but unfortunately that room also had cleanliness issues—there were visible spider webs hanging from the ceiling, and the bedding was again dirty, with cigarette burns similar to the first room.
I was also told the owners are waiting until the Masters to purchase new bedding and make updates. While I understand some properties are independently owned, I have stayed at other Sonesta locations and this experience was far below what I expect from the Sonesta brand.
Independently owned or not, Sonesta should not allow a motel/hotel to operate under its brand without thorough vetting and ongoing quality standards.
the room was not clean during my entire day. I did come for the amenities especially the continental breakfast and there wasn't one single continental breakfast not even coffee I want my money back on having my money back and I intended to find out how to go about it
