Under garments I'm both bed stands, the bathroom soap was opened and looked used, the pull out sofa mattress was filthy... I asked for another room and nothing was available... This was next level nasty ... The shower ( floor ) was discolored... I need a full refund....

TERRIBLE. Bedding is nasty. No towels. Stinks. Tv didn’t work. Sonesta should be embarrassed for even allowing these people to run a hotel with their branding. I want a refund but wouldn’t honor that. Price gouged too. Honestly may take it to court. Photos are NOT what you get.

The only complaint I have is that when I went to breakfast at 7:30 am, there wasn’t any food. It had been cooked but was all gone when we went down. Good staff so I didn’t say anything figured they got rushed right before we got down there. I’d stay again.

Pro: directly across from the airport. Cons: shady people hanging outside of hotel at all times of the night/day. Rooms are outdated. Refrig needed defrosting...couldn't put anything inside due to ice buildup. View from backside windows is a junk yard or abandoned garage with junk cars.

The location seems very unsafe, probably due to the county jail being 2 blocks away. Some questionable individuals walking on the nearby areas, and even entering the hotel. My wife would not agree to stay after all we saw and felt

The snell of pot is felt all the time. Apparently, the hotel is been used as housing for some families. Kids running around, lots of noises, old and dirty towels, room floors dirty, slippery bathroom tub. Poor breakfast. People hanging out outside in the parking lot at night or Definitely not staying there again.
