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.

Checked in at 9:30pm. Receptionist was nowhere to be found. When she finally showed up she was not personable at all. Barely spoke 2 words to me. We went to our room which was not clean. Bed was unmade. Garbage can was overflowing with garbage. Used towels on bathroom floor. We went back to the receptionist to make her aware of the situation. Her response was “What do you want me to do about it?” When we said we wanted the situation rectified. She told my husband he had an attitude. After she was unable to reach the hotel manager she begrudgingly “cleaned” the room with another coworker who at least was apologetic and polite. The carpet was never vacuumed and given the short amount of time they spent “cleaning” I’m sure it was not done thoroughly. After finally settling in we tried to turn on the tv The remote control was missing a back and the batteries were held in with tape. It barely worked. We were lucky to be able to raise the tv volume. Changing the channel would have been impossible. The bathroom had mold on the ceiling and the shower light was not working. The shower consisted of a shower hose hung limply from the wall with no way to affix it to the wall. Never ever, ever again will we stay at this hotel.

Girl at the front desk was super nice. There were some rowdy individuals in the room above me and beside me. Can't really control that. No complaints about the property. I think Morgantown itself needs more street lighting especially in that area. It's very confusing navigating around to get food at night if you need to drive a bit.
