Great for a night or two

Spacious room. Cable options were borderline non existent. No breakfast. It was ok for a place to rest my head. Did not see any bugs but the room could use a more updated look.

It was absolutely disgusting. The room looked like it hasn’t been cleaned in months and when asked for someone to come clean they said nobody was available. We ended up asking for a refund and found another hotel. DO NOT STAY HERE BUGS

Nothing unique about the property. Our room was adequate. The service people we came into contact with were pleasant The carpet needs a good cleaning or refreshing. It had a smell in the room and public areas. Otherwise it was an ok stay.

The hotel is fine for a one night stand or stay. A bit run down. Broken picture frame and dirty coffee pot in my room. Not the end of the world, but when the details are ignored, it is the beginning of the end.

The rooms were OK however not very well maintained. I had a recliner that was not working properly and a TV remote that was half useful rendering the other half useless. Also, they need to separate people with dogs for those without (maybe a dog wing) as I had 2 yapping dogs all night long in neighboring rooms.

I needed a room with a kitchenette while visiting my father, who lives in a nursing home in Largo. The Sonesta Simply Suites accommodations met all my needs. It was clean, comfortable and in my price range. The pool was a nice bonus!
