Marilyn, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The location seems very unsafe, probably due to the county jail being 2 blocks away. Some questionable individuals walking on the nearby areas, and even entering the hotel. My wife would not agree to stay after all we saw and felt

The front desk staff was extremely friendly but the cleanliness of the room was lackluster at best the floor in the room seem like it had not been mopped in weeks
Aaron, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The front desk woman that helped me was great. The room could have been cleaned a little better. Multiple stains on pillows and sheets. Didnt have a fresh scent to it upon entry either like you do usually when you walk into a hotel room.
Shembari, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not that great

Looked like a drug exchange outside when my family and I walked in. It was weird. Very unprofessional the guy that I first encountered couldn’t help me had to call his mom. Had to wait for her to come check me in. She was nice but it’s weird. I didn’t even feel safe in the room tbh and was scared to leave my car outside.

Won’t be back here

You get what you pay for. After driving 12 hours, we just wanted to rest and give our 2 young kids a place to sleep. We didn’t sleep under the sheets, the place gave me the ick. It did its job, but absolutely wouldn’t stay again. Pros: room was large, AC was ice cold, quiet, front desk staff was super friendly, smelled clean and not like cigarettes or mold, didn’t see any bugs (which I was extremely worried about), elevator worked Cons: trash everywhere outside, pool was disgusting, area was kinda sus, very outdated and janky, bedding had stains and was uncomfortable, there was a dirty washcloth left behind in the bathroom, floor made our socks black.

Met some cool people, third floor had a lot of messed up rooms. No ice machines. No laundry room. No gym. Elevator was scary. There was no sign on building or by the room. Pool was extremely dirty

Cross check with the Property for additional fees.

Not the best but not the worst. Minor issue became a bigger issue (had to change rooms due to toilet not working) and they told me I overlooked that a $100 deposit fee was required even though the room was paid for in advance. It is supposed to be refunded in 3 days. I will do a better job of following up with the actual property. Bed was comfortable but walls are thin.
Grace, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The property is not in good condition. The room I was given was not properly cleaned. I was approached in the parking lot by someone pretending to work there, who asked to use my cell phone. When I went in to advise staff, they were in the midst of a virulent argument with a patron. Mildew and Spiders in the shower (I’d asked for a room with a tub). Outdated, broken furnishings. I checked out after an hour. Sacrificed $79 for this. I’ve learned my lesson about Sonesta properties. I ask that Expedia examine this chain and be more discerning about the hotels you offer.
Vincent, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Our experience at this hotel was absolutely HORRIBLE. Checking in took way too long. When we got inside of the room there was dirty underwear in the draws. The shower was dirty. The couch had a horrible smell to it. There was paper on the floor and the room smell like cigarettes. My husband and I are non-smoking. We did not stay overnight. We turned in our room key last night and drove back home. We were still charged for the night even thought we did not stay.

Awful Experience

I was greatly disappointed in this hotel this time. I stayed there again because of my previous experience. This one was the exact opposite. I checked in and put my things in the room because I had a meeting shortly upon arriving. I returned and unpacked. That's when I noticed the spots on the sheets and comforter. There were water/drink marks on both nightstands and the dresser where the tv was. I had already unpacked and didn't want to change rooms. So, I said I'd make the best of it. The toilet didn't flush correctly each time. I had to fiddle with the internal components to make it operate. I returned after shopping the second day and neither of my keys worked. I had to go to have them reactivated. I then noticed that housekeeping had taken the dirty towels but didn't replace them. The room wasn't serviced, trash wasn't emptied or bathroom cleaned. What was the purpose of coming into the room if it wasn't going to be serviced. I had to go downstairs to get fresh towels because none were left. Oh, and the towels were not only of poor quality, but they were stained. I recognize it's a 2.5 star hotel and I shouldn't expect The Ritz Carlton. However, this was ridiculous. When I stayed there in September, the experience was totally different. That's why I decided to stay there again. The price this trip was inflated. I attributed it to events occurring in the city, so I decided to go with it. However, this was a horrible experience at a hotel where I was satisfied last month!
G A, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Once I checked in I went up to the room and saw the toilet had tissue in it I flushed the toilet it wasn’t working correctly. As I was leaving to report it to the front desk they were at my door to bring my ID to me. I informed them, they tried with no success. They said the would be back. I fell asleep. The next morning I informed the person that was at the front desk and ask for an iron. I received the iron. I left for the day when I came back that night it still was in the same condition. I just left they will never get a dime from me again.

Worst Hotel

Actually the nastiest place I have ever seen, we got there and immediately left after stepping in the room. Bed had black stains, stairway was so disgusting, hallway smelled terrible. Don’t stay here..
Dalton, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean but high traffic

Breakfast was hit or miss. We brought our own because we never knew how long it would be out. Not a big deal. The room was clean and comfortable. Even though it is by the airport, I never once heard a plane. The pedestrian traffic was high with little kids (very polite) in the parking lot. Lots of noise in the lobby from like 9pm to midnight and the halls always smelled like food. Overall it was a good stay for the time we were there.
Sharlie, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Pool was not open and green, Breakfast hours were cut to 6-8, random people hanging out outside all day and night. Children running around inside at all hours, bathroom exhaust fan did not work, fridge was leaking, sheets stained, outside trash overflowing
