Hotel ReviewMy family and I were recently in town for a baby shower and to visit family Due to several other conventions and sports tournaments happening in the area, we had limited options This was near the highway, near where we needed to be, affordable, and available

Let’s start with the positives: the location is good (right off the highway, as we needed), the pool was clean, and the linens on the beds were cleanI’m sorry, but that’s about it In all fairness, I believe this hotel just changed hands… so take that for what it’s worthFirst of all, calling this a hotel is a stretch This is one part apartment complex, one part motelThe units seem to have been updated 15-20 years ago, based on the materials and cosmetic touches Carpets are stained and pulled Heating/cooling units are loud Drapes appear to be from the 70’sThe breakfast was gone very quickly, and they did not refill it Prepare for other optionsThe unit we checked into smelled terribly of smoke We asked to move to a different room, which reeked of curry I asked if they could change the filter on the HVAC, and was told maintenance was “back on Monday” It was FridayThere were two TV’s in the unit… one worked with standard definition and limited channels, one didn’t work at allMost of the exterior lights don’t work in the complex, leading to significant security issues Again, no maintenance Prepare with your phone flashlightIn the kitchen, the dishwasher was not connected to the counter, so it rocked back and forth if opened There was a garbage disposal, but it was clogged The refrigerator door would not close We had to prop it closedThis unit was billed as a “900 SF fireplace suite” To me, a suite has more than one room No such luck Plus, the fireplace was inoperable (not that we would have used it, but still…)The bathtub has fresh caulking, which clearly just covered up the black mold, which still showed through The toilet handle was barely hanging on Again, no maintenance crewWhat I am hoping to give potential travelers is some perspective If you’re looking for a modern, clean hotel with an attentive maintenance staff, this is not the place at least not right now Perhaps after the new ownership has some time with it? If your looking for affordability and easy on/off highway access, while ok with sacrificing the above, this could work for you

I’ve bred to several Sonestas, but this one is a dump Will never book any Sonesta again, as there doesn’t seem to be any quality control whatsoeverThere was no service nor basic hygiene at the place

1 Upon arrival, the front desk didn’t know how to look up our confirmation code and after ignoring us told us to contact bookingcom The manager who we asked to speak never showed up Pretty sure she never gets there because we only ever saw one lady2 We had booked one of the rooms with reward points, but when we wanted to check out they asked us to pay $390 When we explained we’d paid already, the lady said “ok” That’s it When my husband went back to ask if the charge was cleared, she said no, it was still there2 There was dirt and trash everywhere Our bath had black mold that they’d just painted over The tub was really really dirty from water standing in it for ages3 The place was infested with caterpillars, they were falling off all the trees We found several on ourselves and on our toddler There was no way to avoid them as you have to walk under the trees to get to your room My mother had several on her door and inside her room When I brought it up to the front desk, the lady pretended not to have noticed, even though they were literally everywhere4 The showers in both baths by the pool were out of order, meaning everyone swimming went in without rinsing off first Yuck!5 Paper plates and plastic forks for breakfast really?! At $250 per night?!!

Check in was fine Room was awesome when the heat worked Heat stopped working sometime in the night hours of Christmas eve

Christmas day we went down to reception where we were told this cannot be fixed today and we would have to change rooms and gave us keys to another room that did not have a fireplace, leaving the wood i already purchased useless We were told we would receive a discount at least We return around 3pm Christmas to make the switch from rm 421 to rm 723 and our key for our first original room doesn’t open the door leaving our belongings barred from us We go to reception to get those keys working, start packing the room and when we get to the new room the keys she gave us in the morning didn’t work for the door We go back to receptionagain to see a sign that no one is there and someone will be back shortly Great About 10-15min later someone finally arrives and were handed new keys We finish moving everything, and my girlfriend just wanted a bath and some rest after the day The tub faucet however does not work at all, so she could only take a shower that night Some pluses however were the cleanliness of the rooms and the full kitchen you don’t get an oven or plates/utensils these days so that was pleasant to see Breakfast was shoddy no hot food but I assume that was due to COVID, I don’t see why its advertised so much on the site when it really was a downfall for the stay Upon checking out 12/26 at 10am no one was at reception during primetime Luckily after only 5 or so minutes someone showed I had to completely re-explain our situation to the receptionist No notes were given to the person helping us out for checkout leaving her blind and unable to apply the discount or to even confirm it The next day however Karen the supervisor was in and applied the discount only after I made an attempt to get it, not proactively She did assure me i was going to receive money back and provided me with a “folio” showing the credit which was nice Next day after that I received credit Overall a lot of the problems I had came down to maintenance not being followed up on well When the rooms being cleaned, everything should be checked for operation, heat, faucets, lights, etc If it wasn’t for the few but major problems I had I’m sure I would’ve had a lovely stay
