Don't bother paying extra for a balcony room, because you might not get one. We waited an extra day to book and the regular room prices went down, while the balcony room prices went higher. Wouldn't have been a big deal had we actually got the private balcony we paid for but the lady at the desk basically shrugged her shoulders and gave excuses. Our room did have a sliding door that went out to a public sidewalk patio area, No privacy whatever. The room was very nice however and we liked the tall ceilings. They had some sort of water leak while we were there which I'm sure isn't typical. Breakfast was mediocre to ok, biscuits were rock hard, sausage links overcooked and hard but there was enough other stuff to eat. Overall I would probably stay again, but not pay extra for a room I didn't get.

No one was at front desk for 10 minutes when we got there and they gave us no information, only made sure we put a $100 deposit down for a 1 night stay for incidentals… rather excessive. No ice in machines, weird pillows that were tiny, inaccessible electrical outlets next to bed.

Kansas Visit

We think some improvements could be made.We arrived on Wednesday, the ice maker on our floor was not working. After talking with other guest the ice maker had not been working all week. It was not until Friday that it was functional. This was very inconvenient. The TV programing was not only awful the channels were not in sequence with the guide and several channels did not work, just a black screen that would flicker some times. The bathroom door would not close. We were offered another room but being a married couple we chose to keep the balcony room (the reason we chose this hotel) rather than switch. The couch in our room was very worn, near breaking on one end and extremely uncomfortable. While the room/furniture was in need of updating we enjoyed the room space and thought the hotel overall was okay for the price. Although we have the before mentioned complaints, the staff, their friendliness and helpful nature made our stay for the most part enjoyable. With family in the area we will be visiting again and may stay at Sonesta Essentila at least 1 more time to see if any improvements have been made. We would like to think that the hotel is in the process of replacing furniture, repairing things needed and updating TV programming service and we were just unlucky in getting a room that has not yet been redone. Thank you for taking the time to read this, may you have a blessed day.
