Friendly staff but filthy
Our room was shabby (toilet rusted, leaky faucets, cabinet door off hinges) and very dirty (trash left on floors, hair in tub, grime on baseboards, floor and surfaces). What redeemed it at all was the friendly front desk staff, the location, and other guests were quiet.

Fine for the Price
It's fine. It's a significantly cheaper rate then the typical hotel I stay at but there are downgrades associate with it. There's usually a maintenance task needed in the room whether the drains are slow and need to be snaked or the toilet seat won't stay up.
That being sad, staff is friendly and I've stayed here multiple times.

Not a good stay
My wife and I have stayed here at least twice before.
This was NOT a good stay...1.the tv would not turn on.
I reported it but there was no action. 2/the toilet water ran consistently. I reported it and no action was taken. 3/ I turned on the heater for a few minutes to heat the room and a electrical smell came out of the vents and set off the smoke alarm. 4/ the reservation desk could not give me a receipt because the printer was not working.
I hope this will not be the case at Sonesta, if we return

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.

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.

The property is wonderful if you have animals!! They was very welcoming to our rather big dogs. They had doggie bones for them. They had pretty good breakfast choices that was included with our stay. We would definitely stay again.

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.
