Solo trip with unexpected guests

When I first got to my room, the garbages had not been emptied from the previous guest but the guy at the front desk came and took care of it. The second night, I found a roach crawling in my towel by the tub and they put in a work order the next day to spray. After they sprayed, I still saw three more roaches at different times. I told the front desk each time but they did not offer anything to make my stay more comfortable. I had to shake out and bag all my belongings to ensure I didn’t not bring any critters home. I definitely will not be staying there again

This Sonesta location is showing its age, a fact that doesn't bother me much, but does diminish some aspects of the stay. Finishes and furnishings were pretty consistently chipped, cracked, faded, dented, or had torn upholstery. The carpet in the common hallway was very well-tread and may have been the source of a pervasive smell of food and humanity that lingered throughout my 4 day stay. Air conditioner seemed to have a hair-trigger response, bumping the temp up or down 2 degrees caused drastic climate change in the room (and a dank smell). The room itself was very clean on check-in, but received no housekeeping for 4 days. I requested additional bath linens (only 2 cloths/towels provided) and never received the requested linens. Front desk staff were very pleasant, but rarely to be found at the lobby desk. I suspect one person fills multiple roles in this hotel. The location was convenient and the general condition of the hotel was fine for my purposes...a fine place to rest, but probably not a "vacation" level of comfort.

I recently stayed at this hotel; unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The room was not clean upon my arrival, which was 2 hours after check-in, no clean linen, with visible dust and stains on the furniture. The customer service left much to be desired, as the front desk help was so unprofessional! Overall, I would not recommend staying at this location, because I have stayed at the Sonesta in Miami, and it was very nice.

The room was in poor condition. The sofa bed was the worst I’ve ever seen. When I went down to try and get blankets so my kids could have some slight padding, they had NONE! My son who was competing the next day was terribly uncomfortable. One of the panels in the kitchen fell off into my hand and the next day it fell on my foot when I opened the cabinet underneath. The hallways smelled terrible. The air conditioning was inconsistent and the bedroom we couldn’t even feel it so I was hot all night. The photos look NOTHING like our actual room. Oh and the phones don’t work nor do all of the outlets to plug things in.

Paid extra for a non smoking room and immediately felt sick walking into this disgusting room with ziplock covering the smoke detector. Childs toys still on the floor and under tv. Spilled drink on floor was sticky and dirty. Bathroom had used soap bar with hair on the counter. Ac barely worked and smelt terrible. I wouldn't come back and stay here.
