The only positive about this property is that the room APPEARED clean. There is NO breakfast, that is a lie. There is a VERY basic coffee station. The older gentleman on night shift was unkind and unhelpful. I was told I couldn’t have batteries for my remote so no tv for me while I was there. My bathroom had no toilet paper in it which is so basic. This hotel fails on all levels.

It’s your basic hotel room. It was clean. There was an issue with the hot water in the shower. I had to let the water run for about 10 mins plus run the sink and then the hot water kicked in. Other than that, the location was back off in the cut so it was very private and quiet.

Do better

I went for 1 night to attend an event. The manager was away so the staff had to jump the counter to check me. I appreciated the ingenuity. She checked the room and said it was deep cleaned. The sheets on one of the beds looked to have blood stains. There was no soap in the room. The extra security mechanism on the door was broke. There were stains on the bathroom towels. I usually bring some...glad I did.

This location does not meet the Sonesta standard.

When we arrived and checked out, there was nobody at the front desk. We had to ring a bell and wait for assistance. The entire building smelled like cigarette smoke and there were bags of garbage in the hallways. When we looked out the window, we could see garbage laying around in the back of the building. Breakfast was advertised as being included but, there was nothing available. Would not stay here again.

It’s located all the way in the back. Looks run down from the outside but I think they renovated inside. Not bad. Had a fridge but not plugged in. No microwave or telephone for the room. But it was decent. No problems.
