Worst experience at Sonesta Milwaukee

Where do I start? Well first off I reserve two rooms. I calles the hotel ro informed them that we would arrive much later than midnight and they said that was dine and they would notate the account. My family and I arrived at 5 am on the 25 but paid for the 24 thru 28 February rhis month. I had to stand there for 10 mins after we arrive to be let into the lobby. Then was told our reservation had been canceled and we were charged a no show fee. After ten mins we were able to check in. Got to the rooms and the bathrooms were nasty and in my room it looked as if someone had shaved in the shower. Only one set of towels. Now for the bedding in both rooms the bedding had black stains on them there was stains all on the headboard and light fixtures. The carpet smelled like feet and the chair at the desk was stain badly. One of the pillows had a smell and a nasty yellow stain on it. Room service never came to clean the room ask about service and was told there was no service and no one xould come clean the rooms or give clean bedding. I had to go out an s buy cleaning supplies and sheetsfor beds. This was the worst experience I have ever had. Front desk was not helpful at all. Whenever I go to Milwaukee this was the place we always stayed at, but no more.!!

We have stayed here many times and won’t be back. The hot tub was closed, didn’t find out until we walked down there. Would have been nice to have a sign at desk or be told at check in. They don’t use fitted sheets, it was a flat sheet that moves all over, and it was stained. Our keys wouldn’t work after using them twice. Thankfully someone was in the room to let the other one in. Informed front desk and they didn’t seem to care.

Hot tub and restaurant was under renovation which was disappointing to hear. Had to make 2 noise complaints to other guests who were being extremely loud but staff listened and it was resolved. No microwave or fridge in room though which was kinda of weird. Otherwise not bad.

A terrible stay

We did not enjoy our stay at Sonesta. We primarily wanted a hotel with a decent pool to take our six year old son's mind off of his surgery the following day. The pool area was disgusting. Dilapidated, dirty, falling apart, and infested with ants. The smell of chlorine was overwhelming and there were no towels available in the pool area. We found out that they closed the pool after we voiced our concerns, which is very concerning as to your safety standards are at this hotel. The ceiling in our bathroom was falling apart, and there was even a hole in the ceiling by the sprinkler pipe that did not give me a feeling of privacy. We weren't expecting this to be a luxurious experience, but this hotel fell far short of our expectations. This hotel should not be listed as a good place for families to stay during their visit at Children's Hospital-Milwaukee. We will definitely not be a returning customer.
