They don’t answer the calls when you the front desk. Twice I was on hold for over 10 minutes. People smoking weed at the front of the main entrance. Also, they don’t have ice machines. I don’t recommend this location.

My S/O and I stayed at Sonesta Simply Suites South Austin in mid-November. We’ve stayed at other Sonesta locations before, but this visit was extremely disappointing due to several serious safety incidents and how they were handled. First, the women at the front desk were consistently kind and professional. None of my concerns reflect on them. The issues were entirely related to the incidents and the conduct of the men involved. 1. False fire alarm + unannounced room entry Around midnight, the fire alarm went off and we evacuated, thinking there was a real fire. The next morning, three men knocked and immediately entered our room without waiting for permission, saying they needed to “do a quick check.” They inspected the room, including the toilet, and left with no explanation or apology. It felt invasive and unprofessional. 2. Armed individual on property On our last night, we saw an unknown man lingering in the foyer. A security guard arrived and warned us he had a machete, pointing it out on the ground nearby. While we were speaking with her, the man suddenly exited the building and fast-walked toward us. Fearing he was heading for the machete, we ran to our car in fear. Police and paramedics later took him into custody. Overall, the stay did not meet basic expectations for safety or peace of mind. The front desk women were wonderful, but we would not stay here again. I also reached out to Sonesta multiple times afterward and have yet to receive a response.

The location is amazing...walkable to PayPal Park, adjacent to the CalTrain station for easy trips to SF, DTSJ, and various Peninsula cities, very close to a Starbucks and indie bagel shop. We appreciated the clean room and being allowed to check in at 12:30 without an extra charge. However, the very old mattress was uncomfortable for my partner, whereas i had issues with the very loud HVAC unit in our room. There also wasn't much of a lobby/common area.

Hotel is very dirty and felt unsafe. Was very uncomfortable that the room can be entered by staff at any time for inspection?? There was actually a sign on the door stating this.

I am a woman who travels alone to visit my son in the area, and I feel very safe and comfortable in this hotel. I think this was my fourth or fifth stay. It has become something of a home away from home. I love the workspace and kitchen. Very happy here.

The hotel is in need of a makeover; the carpet, furniture, etc, are highly worn out. It's a highly trafficked hotel.
