I booked a room at Sonesta Essential Morgantown 3 days before arrival to visit my college student. Upon checking in, I was told they overbooked. I could be placed in another Sonesta Hotel 25 miles south or receive a refund. I was very upset!!! Why did I not receive a call or email??? Morgantown hosts alot of college events. I finally found a room after spending a half hour calling around. Luckily only 5 miles from Morgantown. However I had to pay double the price of Sonesta. I still have not received my refund or call from management.

We never got our trash taken out, never switched out our towels and the beds are horrible. We went and bought a mattress topper just to try to get some sleep. We asked on 2 different days for someone to get the trash and clean towels and we ended up having to go get them ourselves from the front desk. Definitely will not stay here again.

The staff (Carla, Austin) and all others, provided excellent service and support during our stay. The room was clean and well-heated, which felt great when it was -3 degrees outside! The breakfast was adequate, given the circumstances. All of these observations are underscored by the very reasonable room rate. Great stay in Morgantown, and we'll be back!
