Find elsewhere

The whole place reeked of weed. Gravy at the breakfast bar tasted like cleaner. Zero eye contact from staff, who told us the wrong room # at check in. Bathtub had a big hole in the bottom that had been patched. Broken bathroom tiles. TV was so old and had terrible reception. The place just felt damp. Water pressure in the shower was OK until someone flushed the toilet and it completely went away. I had to re-start the shower (off, then back on again) TWICE just to finish showering.

Would rather stay in a Loves parking lot.

Dingy and minimal. Gaps around the room door that give you a rare glimpse into the hallway even with the door shut so you can really see who is knocking. Breakfast includes delicacies like bread in a sandwich bag. This sonesta is so "essential" they provide one towel. Luckily the window was able to be opened wide so if I came to my senses before spending the night I had the option to throw myself down to the parking lot.

Disliked: Staff & service
I have stayed here several times for Doctor appointments. Usually average. This time they put me on the first floor in a room adjoining the lobby/breakfast area. Besides the steady people traffic on the main floor, at 5 AM a group of workers converged for conversation and laughter. Not pleasant when you plan to sleep until 7:30! Lots of vehicles revving engines and beeping horns before 6 am. They really need to up the breakfast selections too. Most all carbs, no fruit, no protein.
