This was a beautiful place but the hot water didn't get hot or even warm so getting up at 2 am without a shower wasn't ideal.

When I say don’t stay here I mean DONT ! The rooms were disgusting and smelled of old outside urine, stains everywhere and on everything I could not stay here I canceled and booked somewhere else Lets add the random crackhead that came in put his feet up in the lobby then casually laid out on the floor while eating watermelon I honestly would not recommend the online pictures are very deceiving

When we arrived I had to use the restroom but was told it was for employees only. So I had to check in while needing to pee badly. Second the AC was horrible, room was hot. The carpets were badly stained and there was a live roach in the bed. Never will stay here again!!!

Everything is disgustingly dirty. The elevators don’t work. Bed are not great. And the Mexican restaurant next to it had extremely loud music hours past midnight.

False advertising, the hotel is dirty, smells like pure bleach and cigarettes all around the rooms. Everything including all the counters were dirty in my room. Curtains and blinds were broken into pieces, toilet and bed had stains on them. This was so bad I checked out within 2 hours of being there

Front desk person was attentive and friendly. Breakfast was okay but eggs were lukewarm. If you need a shuttle keep calling. The phone isn't always answered. The shuttle driver was great.

Hotels.com sold me a Sonesta Essential - and the actual hotel is NOT a Sonesta - This is misleading and is a fraud - you can't sale anyone a hotel with a brand that implies a level of quality and then us had to find out that it is not actually a Sonesta affiliated hotel. I will seek advice on our rights - My group was of 15 people with 7 rooms and everyone had complaints.

This is an old Drury property and the exterior looks ok. The standards are very low and this property is very tired. They hold a $100.00 deposit for up to two weeks, which was a surprise. Spend the extra money further away from hobby. I’ve stayed at several and this area is in a sad state and unsafe!!!

Bad experience with this hotel. Room smelled bad as soon as we walked in. The hotel does not even have the name outside. Pictures are not even close to what you get. Roach was killed on wall and it seems its been there for a while.give it a 1 star because there is no 0. Staff was not friendly when we checked in.

This hotel is undergoing a much needed renovation. However, that didn't have any effect on my stay, that I'm aware of. The top floor, and perhaps other areas that I'm unaware of, were being renovated. I arrived at about 11:30 pm and felt that the front door area was secure. The desk was manned by a male who greeted me promptly. My room was clean, except for the sofa which needs to be replaced. I wouldn't dare sit on it. The carpeting and curtains were both adequate.The tv was excellent, but a channel guide would've made searching for channels unnecessary. Surprisingly there was NO mini-fridge.The bathtub/shower was excellent, with four metal safety grab bars solidly attached to the wall. The water pressure was A+. Both the bedroom and shower were very clean. The bed was clean and comfortable. The closet was clean, with adequate wooden hangers. I missed breakfast, which ended at 9:00 am, so I can't comment about it. At check-out, the front desk attendant called the shuttle bus for me and it arrived promptly after a less than ten minute wait. The driver was very professional. Overall, this hotel met my needs for a one-night stay, and I consider myself a rather flexible traveler, however, I know my wife would not have liked it because of its renovation status and location just off of a highway. She'd prefer to stay in a more populated area. So for flexible single travelers, I'd rate this hotel a 6.5 out of 10 for a short stay. For families or those staying longer, not so much.

Hotel is obviously in the midst of an upgrade. You can still find some items of the former named hotel around. TVs, bedding, carpet all newer upgrades. Breakfast needs some work, but change tales time and plenty of breakfast spots close by. Great Mexican restaurant next door.

Customer service treatment was terrible.
2-night trip

4/10

I had a 38 min wait to get checked in. There isn’t a public restroom available in the general area only for staff. I booked a king suite was given a basic handicap room. I complained to the receptionist he didn’t want to change my room. The carpets recked which caused the room to have an odor. Breakfast wasn’t on time and closed early. 1 Elevator didn’t work the other definitely needs maintenance. The second day of my stay my key on longer worked and again the receptionists slow and rude she didn’t want to provide her name. She wasn’t aware of how the booking process worked she was having to call other people to help guide her thru the check in process.

We came for the indoor swimming pool. I had even called but when we got there the pool was closed. Friday night where our room was, there was a pool of water on the floor and the ceiling tile broke through and was on the floor. No water that night. The next morning we had water but it was freezing. We still couldn't take a shower that day. It made the trip pretty aggravating because we had went to the ocean and had salt water and sands on us. I was wished we could have been able to have water in the room and other than the pipe busting right outside our room and the loud fan the at our door, it was a good trip.
