Was looking forward to using the pool and hot tub. The hot tub was cold and the pool only had about 3/4 of the water it should have had in. I booked 2 rooms in the booking asked for 2 queens was only given 1 room with 2 queens annd other room was a king. Were placed on 2 different floors.

Pool was down our whole trip, bathroom floors were sticky where we stayed and the glass fort for the shower was broken in a way. The place is nice and quiet as there was only about 4 other families that stayed there at the time.

Pick another option

They first checked us in to a room not cleaned. Moved us to a clean room, but next morning we woke up to the cleaning staff entering our room unannounced. Management had no explanation for either mistake, and were uninterested in any resolution beyond the minimum empty apology. At checkout they couldn't print my receipt, had to leave my email (same that I booked with). Leaving this review 3 days after checkout, haven't received my receipt. Sonesta will not be an option for us next time.

The outside of the property is misleading. Check in was smooth. Until we carried all our luggage inside. 2 sets of keys didnt work. They moved us to a different room. Tv volume wouldnt turn down past 10, one of the black put curtains was missing, huge crack in the shower we didnt notice until after midnight. Exhaust fan was very loud in the bathroom. Listened to kids scream and holler all night.

Cleaning crew must have been asleep

The staff were excellent. First room our tv did not work and smelt horrible so the front desk staff, Lee easily gave us a different room. The 2nd room smelt better, the tv worked but there was urine all over the toilet seat and bathroom floor - once again Lee came to the rescue as we asked if he could thoroughly clean it which he did. We usually have a good stay here so were surprised at this definite cleaning oversight.

Went there to enjoy the hot tub & pool that they said they had when i called the day before but when we got there the pool area was out of service for a while now. So complained to the manager and they said they would see what they could do and they would call and of course they never did. Very run down & smells bad.

It was a nice hotel, but not sure how often they clean the bedding, the bottom bed skirt was still dirty from something, we were on the 3rd floor so more noise was in this area, there was a knocking in the night from something. We did have to ask for more towels because they had not filled ours, breakfast was not the greatest, but the coffee was good and the beds were comfortable, it was dry in there for this time of year. For 1 night it was fine.
