I chose this property out of distance to the airport not for amenities or anything else. I should have stayed farther away. Entering the hotel room i was nearly knocked over by the stale smell of cigarettes. Upon further inspection the shower appeared to not have been cleaned and the floor hadnt been mopped. As i pulled down the sheets, i discovered they were either dirty or simply stained. The base sheet was utterly thread bare and the mattress felt like it was older than the building. If this were an unflagged hotel I would be less surprised, but this is a Sonesta flagged hotel.

The shower was cold!! And the hair dryer was melted. I couldnt lock the security deadbolt because the door is messed up. Plus i got locked out of my room when i went to get breakfast. They sent me back and forth 3 times with the same key and then had to try 3 different keys before I could get back in. It was so frustrating!

Please stop! Stop! This is the most disgusting hotel in America. I see more gifts check and check out then actually check in unfortunately for me. I booked a six night day. It was refused to refund from hotel or Expedia. The carpet in the hallway had dead roach and trash for days. It was so bad I check out early because the bed was making me itch. While checking out, a family was leaving after going to their room and finding no toilet in the room.

Do not stay
Hotel is terrible. Has lots of damages throughout the building. Lobby is very hot and smelled nothing but the weed. Room had missing blow dryer. The front desk person was NEVER there. Also the first night check in then went to an event and when return, someone else was inside the room they check me into! Was not happy to go back down to the front desk and no one was there. Even tried calling the hotel directly and NEVER answered. I will not be staying there again!!
