I got stuck in Houston after my flight got canceled and wasn’t offered a hotel voucher. Got on Expedia found this hotel down the street and quickly booked it while it was a great price. Check in was easy and the room was nice. What sent it over the edge was the fact that they offered a free shuttle back to the airport the next day so I can fly out.

No secure parking

Stayed at this Sonesta at the airport because we had an early flight out. We asked if the parking lot was secure and of course they assured us it was. Next morning our window of our vehicle was busted out. They acted like it was an every day occurrence and we’re not responsible. Will not be staying there again.
