The staff was extremely polite and friendly, even when we arrived an hour before check in but couldn’t check in yet. The lady who had to tell us our rooms were not ready was so kind about it. It was a very fast check in and check out process. I would definitely stay here again.

Uncomfortable Stay

This stay was 2 weeks to stay until my husband’s last day at work in Charlotte. I figured we could stay here as long as we needed and though we still aren’t ready to move we decided to check out. It was not bearable any longer. It was not very comfortable. The refrigerator was noisy periodically throughout the day and night. The worse was the air conditioner unit. It’s an old system and it is super loud and inconsistent. The hallways were constantly filled with the stinking smell of weed. The elevator has a big jolt that occurs every time you ride it. It’s nerve wracking. We would not stay here again. This place needs a lot of work and upgrades. It has potential.

We enjoyed our stay at Sonesta simply suites. The staff were friendly and more than ready to help with anything we might need. Our room was comfortable but could have been a little cleaner. This property is well-maintained and very convenient to dining, shopping, and the Charlotte raceways.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is poorly maintained. The room was disgusting and their was bodily fluid every where from the floors to the windows literally! I didn't even stay there at all. I immediately wanted to checkout and was i couldn't and when I agree lose the first night of my 4 night stay, they agreed to refund the remaining three. However, I am now finding out that is a lie and they are trying to keep my money. I have legal looking into this as this place was false advertising at it's best. If I had the ability to download photos, I would. My advice is GO ELSEWHERE!
