Our stay wasn't pleasant, our room was next to the laundry mat (room 114) there was a horrible loud sound coming from the restroom wall. Woke us up and kept us up the whole night until morning. Complained about it and the staff let us know it was due to old plumbing. The odd part about it was that once we complained the horrible noise didn't happen again. Then when complaining and asking about the inconvenience staff members didn't realize I was in the lobby waiting for my husband to pull up (it was raining) I overheard them saying what was our issue, which the staff member jode replied and said they had a complaint they just want to be compensated and given a credit. Although yes we're were expecting some kind of credit there was no offer to move us rooms nor did he care to make things right instead we got a lie to cover up the reason that noise kept us up the whole night. We were very unsatisfied!!! Lower end hotel, customer service was horrible and being lied to is not ok.

This was not the wonderful sonesta experience I always received. Sonesta simply Orange County airport hotel check-in process was an hour long. once in the room the toilet did not flush they told us to not put toilet paper in toilet. Well you can’t even use the restroom because it won’t go down room. I was asked to stay in the room until maintenance. Would reach there the next day. I was so tired from the check-in. We just handled it by flushing the toilet every five minutes it smelled of urine we had to buy a whole bunch of air fresheners.hotel did not have any breakfast and they did not have a toaster in the room. I asked two times every day and then the last time they told me well too many people steal them. Why couldn’t you have told me that from the beginning their. air conditioner doesn’t work. The one on the wall isn’t connected. You have to turn it on manually and when you do it barely lets out cool air. They gave you a skillet 4 inches in diameter. The only good thing about the hotel is how beautiful the room is. Expedia also had fault in check in because they reserved a handicap room and Sonesta told me I should have reserved another handicap room so whatever I reserved on Expedia wasn’t ready. on Expedia I reserved a handicap room with a tub. Sonesta said they only have walk-in showers. The water spilled all over the bathroom floor. The toilet could not flush urine. I love Sonesta hotels, but this is the first one that I would say do not visit.

The place smells, particularly the unclean hallways and the rooms. One room smelled like strange chemicals. Then I asked for another room and it smelled strongly of wet dog and animal urine. I politely told the front desk lady I would need to leave as the rooms were uninhabitable. She was fine and said call Hotels.com and we’ll refund your stay. Since I was busy, trying to find another place to stay, I didn’t call until first thing next morning. When I did, hotels.com reached out to the hotel and they refused to refund the first night of the stay. This is even though I was only in both rooms for about two minutes each, before I could not tolerate the sickening strong odor. I’m not that picky when it comes to hotels, I’ve traveled across the country staying in Motel 6’s etc. but I’ve never had to leave a hotel because the conditions of the room were so disgusting. Getting charged more than $100 for this waste of time and gross experience adds to how poorly I rate this absolute nightmare of an “accommodation”.
