Just OK

Pro: Clean, spacious room Comfortable beds Cons: Wallpaper in room was bubbling off the wall. Looked like they tried to repair but failed. Curtains on window were torn from top to bottom and at the seams. Breakfast was supposed to start at 7:00. At 7:05 none of the food was out. It would not have been a big deal if we weren’t on a schedule, so we didn’t get to eat. The coffee maker was also out of order. I pick hotels based on if they offer breakfast, so this was disappointing.

The check in process was flawless. We needed a crib and they had one at the ready for us. It was an easy process overall. My only qualm was the bed being too hard for me but I still slept well.

The location is 20 minutes from downtown Indy and for the price, you cannot beat it! It’s worth the drive or $20 Uber to stay in Plainfield instead of downtown. Clean hotel with limited amenities, as we expected. We would stay here again.

We had a good experience with the Sonesta Essential. It is a small hotel but the hotel was very clean and modern. You can tell that the staff put in a lot of effort and care maintaining the hotel. The staff were friendly, attentive and very responsive. They made us feel confortable. The check-in and check-out was seamless. The pool and sauna was very nice. Allana (sorry she told me the correct spelling but I forgot) but she went out of her way to assist us and she stayed on top of things. The breakfast was good too.
