Seemed OK from outside appearance. Staff was nice & helpful. They were very accommodating. However, the room was very run down, tired and rough. It was an OK place to stay, but the room being outdated and needing a lot of attention. Old, musty feel. There were renovations going on, plastic on carpet in hallways & stairs. There was a huge, full & open garbage bin in the hallway between my room and the stairs/elevator - and I was real close to both. Bin was there - full - in the second floor hallway for most of my stay. It was a good deal and now I know why. I should have paid more for a better place to stay. I would not have let my family stay in the room due to the condition. After 1 day, I thought of asking to change rooms, but decided to just stay where I was. I have stayed in Sonesta's before and they were great. This one did not meet my average expectations of being in good condition, clean and comfortable. I went for a "good value", but it was not a good decision.
