I like the price I like the living room area in my suite they need to unfold the couch and maybe steam clean the couches a little disappointed there and I liked the cleanest whitest bed sheets the people were great I loved the pool best thing cuz it was indoor and clean that signage was a little confusing when I was pulling up they were switching signs I guess did not mention anything on it about the signage being different on the website. No vending the Cokes are way too pricey $3 a can Coke that's a bit much a little more effort into the breakfast in the morning that would be good other than that overall stay was 4 out of five would I stay there again yes. Thanks see you next trip..

Uncomfortable and Unwelcoming – Not Worth the Stay

I stayed at Sonesta Essential Energy Quarador for two nights, and it was a frustrating and disappointing experience – especially because I was trying to host my mom who was visiting from out of state. I expected it to be a quiet, comfortable and enjoyable stay but, it quickly turned into a stressful and uncomfortable ordeal. First off, the TV remote didn't work, and when I asked the front desk for batteries, they didn't have any. After some time, they did manage to provide another remote with working batteries, but this was just the beginning. The room was poorly maintained – the lamp shades were visibly dirty, there were roaches in the room. The toilet had an orange ring around the bowl, making it look filthy and uninviting. The towels were small and paper-thin, and the tub held water during showers, draining incredibly slowly. It was impossible to feel comfortable or clean in that environment, and I felt embarrassed to have brought my mom to a place like this. The pool was closed, and when I asked the front desk about it, they shrugged and said they weren't sure when it would reopen. Breakfast was also a disappointment – the options were extremely limited and the quality was poor. Additionally, the staff seemed uninterested in providing any helpful information. The rooms are definitely not soundproof – the traffic the traffic noise was ridiculously loud, making it nearly impossible to rest. I do not recommend, it’s not as shown on website, I canceled the following week.

My son and neice arrived Thursday the 8th. My son paid the deposit but before going in hotel the noticed the screen in the windows were ripped and the mattresses were showing. Once they got into the room, it smelled very musty amd the bathroom was filthy. They left within 10 minutes and my son told the front they could stay there due to the conditions of the room. The deposit was given back. They have to find another hotel and pay another deposit. I have been in contact with client services asking for my money back or at least half and they are telling me no they cant do that. We never stayed there. The place is aweful so stay away. What they have online is nothing like in person. Its a facade.

They gave room facing the highway, no way people can sleep. Requested to change, took 45min back and forth with the clerk (I think she is owner) she said only have 2 beds only. Finally, found a room with 1 bed. She kept telling this room more expensive and might have to pay extra. Turned out, room is nasty, TV with no remote, bathtub/shower issues, water won't drain until 10min after the shower. So disgusting!!

The hotel itself was dated w/ an eerie feel. The front desk staff remained uninterested. Also, my room had roaches and the toilet was still holding poo from the last guest…

We booked a three night stay through Expedia as a bundle booking in March 2025. This hotel has no name as advertised outside the building. Unclean/sticky floor all over including elevator floors. Inside our room no TV, no towels. Sticky bathroom counter top, sticky bathroom floor. Carpet feels yucky. And worst of all, multiple bed bugs crawling at night Ruined our night of sleep and ruined our plan next day due to no sleep. Then requested to check out next morning after “one night stay” with no sleep and requested full refund, was denied. Even partial refund was not granted. Email follow ups and requests to speak to upper management were ignored totally. We ended up threw away some of our clothes. Came home did crazy clean up including luggage. Worst hotel experience in life! Do not stay in this hotel!
