It was roach infested. Roaches everywhere. My daughters and granddaughter decided to do a six hour drive at night instead of stay after paying for their room. A tall skinny guy walked in their room and said "oh someone is already in here " WTH. Every time we walked out of our room you could smell skunk weed (pot). I'm having to leave all our stuff outside and cleaning everything before I can take it in our house and hope and pray we don't bring roaches in the house. Ridiculous

The room (which had a kitchenette) was very spacious. At first glance, it seemed like a lovely place. Then, with more inspection, it turned out that it wasn't so lovely. The were numerous outlets but a few of them were not working. The chairs at the kitchenette counter were too short for the counter. One of the towel racks in the bathroom (the one by the wash basin) was broken. Overall, the place didn't seem well-maintained. However, the staff was efficient, friendly, and helpful, both at check-in and check-out. For the price we paid, it was reasonable accommodation. Nothing to do with the hotel but the Starbucks across the street was a big plus.

Thanks for your feedback, Alexander. Upon checking your reservation, it looks as if you departed our property back In January and many things have changed since that time. We certainly apologize for any inconveniences you experienced during that stay, but welcome you to give us another opportunity to show you how great our property is.

When we arrived for check-in after a 10 hour car ride, our loft room was already occupied. We're not sure if they were authorized there or not. When we returned to the desk we were informed that they had no other rooms available and we would have to be refunded the whole 4 nights booking. This left us in a very tough and uncomfortable position in a strange town with no where to stay. The CS that we have heard from blamed us, saying we declined an alternate room. No such offer was ever made. I have pictures too. Embarrassing look for Sonesta and we will never pay for a room with them again.

First floor smelled like weed. I called ahead to notify them that I would be checking in late at night. They thanked me for letting them know, but didn't tell me the desk closes at 10pm, so I had to find another hotel down the street for a night. No one at the desk at 10:30am to check me out- I had to go find the housekeeping office and ask for help. The room: dirty/stained carpet, bugs (ants, cockroaches, and other), mildewy/wet spots on carpet. Loud people in the room next door. I definitely won't stay at this location again, and I'm reluctant to stay in any Sonesta again.

The manager tries to sleep with every female he sees. And if you choose not too he will find any reason to lie. And put you out!
