Not as pictured

This hotel is old and the pictures are deceiving. The carpets are heavily stained and need to be pulled up. The tub in the bathroom is rusty and there was tissue in the vents. There are stains all over the walls and fabric bed rails(I think that's what it's called). The elevator stopped working, and the pool area wasn't working properly. After checking the sheets and looking for bedbugs, I can say at least the sheets appeared to be clean. There were also a few roaches that came out of hiding, and that was it!! We IMMEDIATELY gathered our bags after shaking them out and left. I will say the staff was friendly, and they do serve breakfast, but we didn't eat it. I politely let the front desk know and she said she would let someone know about the issues. I only need the room to rest before hitting the road to continue our travels. I definitely wish I'd read the Google reviews and not the ones on hotels.com. I guess you get what you pay for!!

There’s a restaurant/bar literally right next door that’s actually delicious. They serve breakfast starting at 7AM. It’s nothing special, the typical cereals, sausage, eggs, waffles, yogurt, oatmeal, coffee and juice. Staff is really nice. My room was really clean, no complaints. For me it’s all I need in a hotel to shower sleep and have some peace. It is right by the highway and you can hear planes, but you’re at the airport. Staff is just typical folks, polite and accommodating. Didn’t run into a rude person at all. Parking is free and convenient. 24 hour places less than a mile a way like Dennys and Waffle House. Would definitely stay again.

Misleading sale of a hotel brand that is not

Hotels.com sold me a Sonesta Essential - and the actual hotel is NOT a Sonesta - This is misleading and is a fraud - you can't sale anyone a hotel with a brand that implies a level of quality and then us had to find out that it is not actually a Sonesta affiliated hotel. I will seek advice on our rights - My group was of 15 people with 7 rooms and everyone had complaints.

Bad experience with this hotel. Room smelled bad as soon as we walked in. The hotel does not even have the name outside. Pictures are not even close to what you get. Roach was killed on wall and it seems its been there for a while.give it a 1 star because there is no 0. Staff was not friendly when we checked in.

No pool and busted pipe.

We came for the indoor swimming pool. I had even called but when we got there the pool was closed. Friday night where our room was, there was a pool of water on the floor and the ceiling tile broke through and was on the floor. No water that night. The next morning we had water but it was freezing. We still couldn't take a shower that day. It made the trip pretty aggravating because we had went to the ocean and had salt water and sands on us. I was wished we could have been able to have water in the room and other than the pipe busting right outside our room and the loud fan the at our door, it was a good trip.

This is an old Drury property and the exterior looks ok. The standards are very low and this property is very tired. They hold a $100.00 deposit for up to two weeks, which was a surprise. Spend the extra money further away from hobby. I’ve stayed at several and this area is in a sad state and unsafe!!!
