No thanks
We didn’t even stay. It took forever to be helped at counter. First room we were given hadn’t been cleaned and bed looked recently slept in. Second room they gave us looked like they just threw top cover over bed. Corners of bathroom floor were filthy. The entire hotel smelled like they poured cleaner into the carpet to hide something, it was overwhelming and made our eyes water

While the beds weren't the comfiest and the pillows were pretty flat, the room was clean and sleep-able for one night. Very convenient as there was a mall directly behind the hotel and stores surrounding the hotel within 1-2 miles! Breakfast was free and we had the option of hot or cold breakfast or both!

We had requested a queen size bed but given the double size bed. We then requested at least a room with two beds, we were told there were no rooms available even though there were 6 rooms showing on Expedia for the same location. The shower had barely trickling water. Seems like the room was initially set up as retirement home, which had a large washroom but a very small room overall.

GOOD STAY
My wife and I have stayed here before when we visit family in the area. As usual, all was good. My only complaint is that the TV was very hard to turn on. I had the desk person change the batteries and still the tv would not turn on except with difficulty. All else was good as we expected. Thanks

Very nice. Easy to check in and out. Room was very clean. Friendly staff. From Michigan and went to Morgantown, WV. Visited West Virginia University Campus on family business. The hotel was very easy to get to from the highway. Sonesta Essential hotel was great. Would stay there again!!

Hair on bed sheets. Open soap package in the shower with no soap. Wondering if someone had stayed there the previous night without a cleaning. No batteries in the remote. No coffee ready in the morning. Toilet leaking from the flange onto the bathroom floor. Not a good experience from what appeared to be a fairly recently remodeled hotel.

A book with a nice cover.
Our room was kinda small with no mini fridge, but was clean, had TV and a nice small bathroom.the bed was also pretty hard, my wife and I tossed all night.The breakfast left more to be desired, the had a waffle iron but no batter, and no fresh fruit either. There was sausage, eggs, bagels, cereal, muffins, toast, yogurt, orange juice, milk, and apple juice. For the price though it is what it is, a clean hotel with a breakfast.
