I just think it’s a very basic hotel nothing very fancy I wouldn’t recommend my family to stay there. I’m a Hyatt girlie. But sometimes I get cheap. I think it’s a two star hotel. It gets the job done.

Hotel was another name now Sonesta there was red ants on the foot bath towel first night 2nd night on some clothes in the closet. Beds are soft but linen had a certain smell, breakfast is very limited and hours too. They didn't have luggage cart first night like I said it looks like they are starting over. Ice machine didn't work on any floors. Service desk some friendly others spaced out when asked questions. Left a cash deposit and was returned to us when leaving hotel. Mentioned these problems they said they were going to work on it.

I had a terrible experience staying at this hotel. The room looked okay at first glance, but later that night I discovered cockroaches crawling around – on the floor, near the bed, and even in the bathroom. It was absolutely disgusting and made me feel very uncomfortable. I couldn’t sleep properly knowing there were bugs everywhere. I informed the front desk, but they didn’t seem very surprised or concerned, and didn’t offer any real solution besides a half-hearted apology. This level of cleanliness is unacceptable. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone unless they fix their pest problem. Definitely not worth the money.
