The front desk associates were rude - I wasn’t greeted upon entry - there was a problem with my reservation & they were both not willing to help me resolve the issue. The room was ok - dated & smelled musty. The phone also did not work when I needed to call the front desk with another issue. The breakfast was nice & the woman working this morning smiled when I checked out. I will never stay at a Sonesta again

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I had a two reservations with a combined stay from Tuesday -Sunday . Our shower was broken abs was repaired within 24 hours . We discovered that our room would not be cleaned unless we had a 7 day booking . This is unsanitary as some of the towels were yellow. When asked for new sheets and towels , we were told to come to office to get them . This level of service or lack there of is poor and obvious attempt to sock up money and cut corners by making the guests deal with lack of cleaning service and staffing . I will no longer stay at any sonesta if these are your policies . My company will cease to use you as well . I run 2 organizations and I will not subject my staff to this hotels “dirty” tactics .

The room is roomy and well laid out with all the conveniences for a long stay such as a refrigerator amd dishwasher. The outdoor facilities are very nice and make it easy to enjoy the beautiful weather. The carpet is old and a but dirty. The trash in our room was not emptied from the guest before us and housekeeping only cones once a week.

They were "out of" pancake batter for all three days, which seems unreasonable. Given that the staff kicked everyone out of the breakfast room very speedily, I'd assume they just don't want to clean up after it. Similarly, there were no towels by the pool. My (adult) child arrived after midnight, so I left the keys at the desk with her name and mine. That message didn't get to the night person, who argued with her about getting in. Leave a note, people! Overall, pretty disappointed.
