I was surprised that for the money I spent, there were no free breakfast options available and there really wasn't any food options other than the over-priced restaurant located in the hotel. Also, I paid for my room in full prior to my arrival, but was forced to pay an additional $50/day for "incidentals" with no prior disclosure, while checking in. The staff was apathetic at best.

My solo trip experience was quite relaxing. I will say I think my favorite feature had to have been in the pool because I definitely spent way too much time to flopping around like a little kid.

Ok stay but can be better

The room overall cleanliness was a 2-3. The room was very dusty and the bathroom had unknown particles on the wall and tub that were not scrubbed. I performed myself. The carpet was damp for some reason as well. Otherwise ok. The breakfast was not free but we had quality, fresh food. The waiters were very professional and welcoming.

Horrendous experience

The room was atrocious, completely uncleaned. The floors not vacuumed, there was used floss and trash bits all over the floor. The bathroom I cleaned prior to using and their was hair all in the shower still. Floors dirty. Sink and toilet. My son and I flew into Charlotte because I was my uncle's medical power of attorney and he was hospitalized in the ICU. I rushed out on a red eye overnight, so imagine my frustration when I finally arrive to a room I paid way too much for that wasn't cleaned and we couldn't change without losing way too much money, while also having to emotionally manage to take my uncle off of life support. Not to mention almost everywhere in the hotel smelled like p0t smoke, the coffee shop was never open, staff were rude and dismissive. In the 3 days we were there housekeeping never came by our room to clean or anything. Never ever again will I stay at a Sonesta

Overall my stay was okay . I like that they had an option for indoor or outdoor pool . There was a bar at the pool but nobody was there , even though the sign said the pool bar work be open from 2pm-8pm ( not sure what that was about ) . My room i had issues with some of the furniture and dresser being damaged or had stains . I made the front desk aware once i saw the damages once i checked in . Besides that parking was affordable.

Not what I expected the hotel is gorgeous. I like the bar and the pool has a nice indoor area. However, the service was really bad. Every time that I will call the front desk I would kind of feel a little bit of attitude. There’s no reception at all for my cell phone in there and the Wi-Fi. It’s really bad Even the one that you paid for. It’s not as good as I thought it was gonna be it was in the best experience.

Outside/pool area is dope AF. Indoor and outdoor pools. Both were clean. I did get double charged at the property but it was worked out before I left. Was really nice. Really the only bad port was the surrounding area is littered than drug addicts.
