Working its way up
Hotel is obviously in the midst of an upgrade. You can still find some items of the former named hotel around. TVs, bedding, carpet all newer upgrades. Breakfast needs some work, but change tales time and plenty of breakfast spots close by. Great Mexican restaurant next door.

There was no remote for our room and the front office staff was very rude and not accommodating in trying to help resolve the issue. When we had questions he(Alex) was very dismissive and has an unpleasant attitude. 10 out of 10 would not recommend because of him

looked like it had been a half way house or rehab facility before, carpets were filthy, no hot water, pool water was green, just the worst. Sonesta should have refurbished this hotel before they put their name on it. Will never use a Sonesta brand again.

The place was filthy, and the locks seemed to be broken on the front door. Not very relaxing.
They had no bell carts or anything available to help me with my luggage, and nobody offered to help despite my multiple bags.

Save your money we had a last minute trip and at the moment we were trying to save a few bucks but should have paid the extra somewhere else. The looks are deceiving in the lobby. Once you get to the hall ways it’s bad. Every time I got to my room hallway I got very dizzy and light headed the smell of cigarette smoke & ashes has just overcame those halls, there was literally a guy smoking a cigarette in the hall as we were walking to our room. I have to close my nose till I get to my room for fresh air.
There was no cable all week which I understand with the hurricane but a notice ahead of time would have been good.
Twice when we went on the elevator it shook really really bad I had to grab onto my fiancé because I thought was shaking that bad we thought it was gonna get stuck & didn’t open for awhile I did not let me or my children get on it after that.
Overall I would not stay here again. It was not worth the money.

The shower had no liquid soap. My son had to get a rag and squirt liquid green hand soap and give me in the shower. I had to go downstairs and get the bath mat. the bed was comfortable. The mattress in room 417 needs to throw away. It had a large big urine stain. The carpet in the hotel was dirty and smelly. No outside hotel sign. The carpet in the elevator needs to be replaced. The outside of the hotel looks nice and the inside. There was a roach in the bathroom at 3 AM. My son also ttok a picture of another roach. I needed a shuttle ride to the airport at 5 AM to Hobby Airport. hat is why I stayed there.

The receptionist at the check-in did not show any customer service skills. The hotel does not look clean. Common areas such as the elevator and hallways are neglected and dirty. The carpet in the room and bathroom require more cleaning.
