Reasonable price, but the rooms need to be refreshed. Walls had marks, indentations, and scratchs in some areas. Ceiling tiles had water marks in bathroom. Toilet paper holder on wall was loose and fell off. Iron in room had missing cap on water funnel, thus leaked. The iron board was missing a rung on leg to secure it when opened. Restaurant was closed.

Don’t let the Sonesta name fool you, this place is a dump. Homeless drunk people outside the lobby. This is a motel from the 70’s with lipstick.

I stayed in room 124. It was loud above and around me from something like the cleaning closet or the kitchen or something. Pounding over and over, cart noises, etc. Super annoying and I hardly slept.

Pictures on Expedia are deceiving. When arrived at property, the hotel appeared to be a renovated motel that still looked rundown. Multiple buildings but still sketchy feeling. Room was combined twins and a king size bed so good size. But when testing out amenities, very few things worked. No hot water, iron didn’t work, unsafe surroundings and doors open directly to outside on bottom floor. Instantly regretted booking this property.
