this was the worst hotel stay we ever had. pictures and positive reviews were much better that our experience. the room was dirty. found trash under the bed. bathroom was super dirty to the point of us refraining taking a shower. floors - seemed like they weren't cleaned in a while. went down for breakfast in the morning, but all that was there was cereal with no milk anywhere, instant oatmeal packages, old bananas and a few apples and that was literally it. Included breakfast was one of the reasons I chose the hotel. It looked more like a dorm than the hotel. there was 4 of us staying in the room and we only had 2 towels in the bathroom. I'd recommend to avoid the place if you care about cleanliness and service. We were literally afraid of touching things (and we are not the people with phobias or anything like that)

Manager was arguing on phone upon my arrival I was exhausted and still made to wait until she finished arguing. I asked about my included free check out and was told it was $40 I showed them my rewards and was still awakened at 7am to discuss then again at 9am only to find it was included. Sheets were dirty hooks were broken to hang things blow dryers were broken tv showed dark blue picture near impossible to watch hands down worst stay I’ve had.

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 Outdated, broken furnishings.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.

Staff is friendly but not professional. 3rd floor is horrible a lot of open abandoned rooms room was just okay bathroom floors not clean. Bed wasn’t comfortable. A lot of possible homeless people live there or maybe weekly renting not sure. Stingy on towels called every day for clean towels. They do have complimentary breakfast stops at 9. If u looking for something just to get by stay there. If u looking for a pleasant stay go somewhere else. The only positive thing I could say is they are directly across from the airport BTR…..

We got to the hotel around 545 pm to check in The young man that was behind the counter didn’t know what to do so all he said was “give me five minutes because she “he was referring to the person that was supposed to be behind the counter” just left but she is only five minutes away. Then he said I’m calling her right now so you can wait in the lobby until she is back. Long story short we waited over an hour and always asking him but he couldn’t give us an answer when someone was going to come back to check us in. After almost two hours we told the young man that this was unacceptable because we made a reservation and no one was there for us to check in He seems nervous and not knowing what to We decided to leave and I wrote a note for someone to call me back While we waited there was a group of people 5-7 young adults smoking marijuana in the pool area that was right by the entrance so with that we also decided this was not the place we wanted to be Please call me or do something about this because I was left with no other option but start looking for another place to spend the night I have done a lot of bookings with your website and this was absolutely an experience I don’t want to be in again Thanks
