Yes the room lacked many amenities. For example, no soap at the lavatory you had to go to the shower and squirt soap in your hand. No trash can in the bathroom. The toilet ran and ran. Couldn't get the TV to turn on. Management took criticism positively. Cannot recommend even for one night.

They require a $75.00 deposit. That they say will be returned to you. I didn’t pay it. They charged $5.00 for parking in the parking lot. There is a potential for vandalism in the are that the hotel is in. You wouldn’t be walking outside the fenced area. No breakfast was furnished. Someone was searing fish and had the whole place stinking.

My S/O and I stayed here in mid-November and were extremely disappointed due to multiple serious safety issues. We’ve stayed at Sonesta locations before, but this experience was nothing like what we expected. The women at the front desk were wonderful—kind and professional—so none of this reflects on them. The problems were with the incidents themselves and how they were handled. 1. False fire alarm + unannounced room entry Around midnight the fire alarm went off and we evacuated, thinking there was a real fire. The next morning, three men knocked and immediately entered our room without waiting for permission, saying they needed to “do a quick check.” They inspected the room, including the toilet, and left without any explanation or apology. It felt invasive and unprofessional. 2. Armed individual on the property On our last night, we saw an unknown man lingering in the foyer. A security guard arrived and told us he had a machete, pointing it out on the ground nearby. While we were speaking with her, the man suddenly exited the building and fast-walked toward us. Fearing he was going for the machete, we ran to our car. Police and paramedics later took him into custody. Overall, the stay did not meet basic expectations for safety or peace of mind. The women at the front desk were great, but we would not stay here again. I also contacted Sonesta multiple times afterward and never received a response.

The staff was incruduble. We were able to check in early, which was great after for traveling for several hours and in heavy traffic. The hotel was as advertised. It had a very convenient kitcenette with a full-size fidge. The bathroom was roomy and the shower was awesome. This location was perfect for all the places we visisted during our stay.
