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.

When I arrived to my room the hall and room were filled with the smell of cigarettes (I hate the smell of cigarettes). The hallway is poorly lit giving it a horror motel movie vibe. I believe some of the guests were actively smoking as the smell of heavy cigarette smoking came and went during my two night stay. Upon entering my room, I noticed my carpet was hard or crunchy feeling which I thought was odd. I killed 3 spiders and my closet and bathroom shelves were covered in dust. The bathtub and shower walls were grimy and dirty. I don’t think my room had been reserved in a while and probably not cleaned prior to me checking in. I reported the tub issues to the front desk and they indicated they would send housekeeping to my room. However, when I returned to my room later that night the tub was not cleaned and my sheets had not been changed. I reported the cigarette smell upon checkout and the front desk staff said they would follow up as this was supposed to be a non-smoking area/facility. There is no sign on the main road to direct you to the Sonesta hotel as it sits toward the back of the road behind another seedy looking hotel called Heritage Inn. However, the exterior of the building is nice looking. They provide a continental breakfast but the hot foods were lukewarm/room temperature at best. The location is close to local malls and shopping areas, with plenty of restaurants to choose from. $507 for a 3 day/2 night stay and I didn’t expect luxury but decent service.

The lobby looked clean and inviting but after that not good. Received no maid service unless requested, clean towels, empty trash etc. . Noise of something running on and off every 15 seconds, claimed it was the venting system, faucet in tub running all the time, carpets so dirty that white socks are brown on bottom, heat/ac unit filthy and when heat was attempted it smelled like something burning. Elevator made you wonder if it would make it up and down. Charged an extra $100 for an extra night. Broken tile on bathroom floor with sharp edges. Very, very disappointed and will never recommend Sonesta Essential to anyone, any where.

NEVER Again!

Let me start by saying this was not a leisure trip—we were in town unexpectedly due to the passing of my mother-in-law. So already, emotions were high. I chose Sonesta because I’ve stayed at their properties before and expected a certain level of quality. Unfortunately, this location was beyond disappointing. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was off. The lobby chairs were worn and busted, with the leather on the seat parts visibly torn. The hallways were dark and dreary, not well-lit at all, which made everything feel unsettling. When we got to our rooms, we found gnats flying around in all of them. One room even had roaches. Yes—roaches. Our TV kept randomly switching to Spanish with no explanation. The refrigerator was disgusting, the bathtub had hair in it, and to top it off, there was no microwave in the room. We arrived to find one-third of a roll of toilet paper—and had to walk down to the front desk to ask for more because no one would answer the phone. The doors were janky and took forever to open with the key, which was super frustrating. Overall, I was extremely disappointed. I’ve never known Sonesta to be like this, and sadly, I won’t be returning. This experience was just unacceptable—especially during a time when we really needed peace and comfort.
