What’s that smell

My check-in experience was wonderful I believe her name was Michelle, can’t recall. I spoke with a front desk agent to complain the second day of my stay, that the room smelled very damp and I was told maintenance would come after 10AM I waited until 5:30PM, there was no visit from maintenance. The room had a very damp musky odor and I didn’t feel 100% comfortable sleeping in my room but I made due. I don’t think I’ll be staying at this hotel again.

Everything was great with one exception, during our stay there was toddler swimming classes being taught in the pool. My kids went down to the pool multiple times but were told they couldn’t swim because the pool was being used for swim classes. They were finally able to swim at 10:00pm. Why advertise a pool when it can’t be used by the hotel guests.

First checked in was fine but when went to room the room was dirty hair in tub and sink found a bug in bed I gather all my belongings put it back in my car when went to front desk the guy whom I spoked with the bug was quick to tell me it wasn’t a bed bug but after doing my research It was I put the bug in a napkin and empty water bottle as evidence they only offered to reclean room . Not a refund I would never stay in this establishment again they didn’t come and clean the whole time of our stay besides when I found the bug after that not once.

Mary C.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff was nice--but it did seem understaffed. My room in front of the sink had a very bad smell--something must have leaked and it was not properly taken care of. My cousin (several family members were staying there) had a TV that didn't work and they never fixed it or replaced it. One of the reasons we stayed there was the free breakfast. The morning we really needed it--we were heading out for a funeral--we were told, no breakfast today with no explanation. The price was right, but I would never recommend a Sonesta hotel again. I am already booked at the Chase in St Louis (a Sonesta hotel)--and I am thinking about moving to another hotel after this experience.

Front desk personell exhibited a lack of acceptable customer service and communication skills! It was a struggle getting succinct informational flow, without continuously having to ask follow up questions. In addition, I was unable to add and pay for an additional night when I checked in at the front desk! I was asked to reserve a room for the next night and confirm that reservation the next morning. I reserved the additional night and I received an email confirming the reservation riddle with serious grammatical errors and an a substantial increase in price! I cancelled the reservation and will not visit this facility ever again!
