I stayed at Sonesta Essentials for a work event that also fell on my birthday weekend. I had reasonable expectations for a last-minute booking, but this was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. First red flag: the front desk never answered the phone. I tried calling for hours while en route just to confirm my reservation. Second: the entire hotel reeked of cigarette smoke; lobby, hallways, elevator, and rooms. Third: the side/back entrance door was propped wide open, allowing anyone access to the building. The elevator was extremely old, shaky, and scary. My first room (308 or 309) had blood stains on the sheet and mattress, plus small white suspicious bugs under the mattress. I took photos and immediately requested a room change. The second room was no better: mold and mildew on the shower curtain, cigarette burn holes in the bedding, a black soot-like substance on the mattress, no toilet paper, brown water from the sink, a baby roach came out of the sink, and the door would not properly lock due to a misaligned deadbolt. I was exhausted and bought blankets from Walmart to sleep on top of the bed. When I tried to move the mini fridge in front of the door for security, roaches scattered from behind it. I immediately checked out. The front desk woman was excellent and handled the situation professionally, canceling my stay without fees. I understand budget hotels, but this place felt unsafe and unsanitary. It should not be listed on booking sites

The rooms were not as bekannt as they could be. I read reviews saying this place had gone under recent renovations & they need to continue updating the rooms & the elevator. I was placed into a dirty room, then given a 2nd room that had stained sheets & a hole in the comforter to sleep in. I was then placed in a 3rd room. The tubs were rusted,towels stained, & the rooms were not as cleaned as I would have liked. The staff was reason & understanding. They did the best they could with what they had to provide me a welcoming stay. The staff were great but the hotel needs to be renovated. & yes there definitely was a mildewy weird smell throughout the hotel.

The whole hotel smelled like smoke. My husband has asthma so it was a huge challenge. No breakfast as advertised. Fitness area was like a storage area with machine not even built yet. Rooms were good. Other than thin towels with dark stains on them.
