Waited 30 minutes to check in. There was a sign that said “be back soon!” Then gave a us room that people were in. We walked in a room that had people lying in bed. Guy at counter said it was third time today. The man who checked us in rode elevator with us and was swearing and saying “Jesus Christ” in front of my kids. The room was old and dirty. Hair in tub and on bathroom floor and toilet. Cobwebs in corners. We ended up leaving because it was so bad.

Our reserved room had already been given to someone else at 5 PM. The next room the beds had not been changed. Third room was okay but the bed was not comfortable and tv was poor quality. Staff was slow, but helpful. The area seems to be in transition.

Hotels . Com listed Sonesta having two beds, which is why I booked this hotel. Upon arrival and check in, once we got to the room, there was only one bed for my family. I went back to the front desk and asked them about our room. The clerk told me that all their rooms only have one bed and that Expedia and third party bookings have them listed wrong . He asked if we wanted a cot, which is said okay. However, we left the hotel. There was not enough beds. Hotels. Com was contacted immediately and they called the hotel. The clerk told them I accepted an upgraded room , which I did not . I told the agent online that a cot was not considered an upgraded room . We left the hotel and had to find another hotel at 9:00 at night . We didn't stay at all. Sonesta refused to refund my stay. I know it was somehow a mix up on hotels.com with the bedding issue but I was aggravated that we were charged for a room that we didn't use and couldn't accommodate my family . My suggestion is for the third party booking sites to update the hotel so other families who think they are getting two beds don't show up at night and have no where for everyone to sleep.

Room was good, but the 'frig froze everything including my salad and apple slices. Very hilly city. This hotel is not near anything else except one restaurant. No microwave in the room, but did have a 'frig. The breakfast was limited, but better than nothing.
