pls improve the quality before you lose customer

Hotel did not provide garbage can or trash bag but remind you have to clean any garbage before you leave hotel.\ TV channel is poor with low quality and cannot work properly for 5 minutes. Almost you find nothing to watch on TV escalate quality has issue.

I paid $147 to stay here with my family while visiting from out of town, and we were really disappointed. There was no hot breakfast available for my child—just some fruit, even though the listing clearly states breakfast is included. The TV in our room didn’t work, and the pet fee was a shocking $150 per stay, even though it was listed online as $60 and used to be $25. I understand ownership may have changed, but if that’s the case, the hotel seriously needs to update their website and listings so guests know what to expect. Between the misleading info and the poor amenities, we definitely won’t be coming back.

Over all I know it was rebranded but the tile in my bathroom floor was loose. We had no trash can in the room at all. They had no charging port for my phone. I can tell that they did some painting but didn’t Change the power socket it was a disgusting yellow along with the smoke detector. The lamp were all rusty. Also upon checking in the property smelled like mildew.

Bed bugs, disgusting property. Found dirty used wet towel inside the room fridge. My whole back and legs got red rash within 20 mins of lying down in the bed. Gym is broken and not a single machine works. Checked out of the property within 1 hour of check in. Shame on Sonesta brand for having such terrible property under their umbrella.
