The hallways outside the rooms looked like they hadn’t been vacuumed in a long time, the room itself smelled horrible, especially the restroom. They had a Skelton crew so we had to do searching for someone to give us toilet paper (that they said they ran out of for the entire hotel) and towels. The staff were friendly, but unfortunately with only 3 of them working, many things were lacking.

One of the worst experiences you can get in a hotel if not the worst! Reserved a week before the date just to get to the hotel and be told they had no more rooms left. Multiple families had this issue. No available rooms at other Sonesta hotels near by so we had to go out looking for a hotel in the middle of the night with young children!! Still waiting for for my refund!

Comfortable stay with a big room

We were fortunate and appreciative to get a free upgrade from a one bedroom to a two bedroom. The hotel is a little dated, but the room and beds were comfortable.

Room requested was not cleaned

Through a message i sent to the hotel a week or more before arrival, i asked if an ADA room was available due to back and balance issues. Upon arrival, the man at the check-in desk asked me if I needed the ADA room. He then said there are people who request thise rooms but dont really need them. I told him about the back and balance issues. He then said the room had not been cleaned. He also saud he sud nit know when it would be cleaned bdcayse they are shortcon help. We had no choice but to take a non-ADA room, and ge saud ge was moving us to a larger room. We truly have no idea if it was larger since we had not seen other rooms nor stayed there before. Since our reservation was for a specific time frame, one would thinkthe room woukd have been cleaned beforehand.

The property is beautiful itself , but run down and I had a hotel suite room And Paid over $300 per night but there were no hand towels, bath towels or wash cloths in the bathrooms . The kitchen refrigerator smelled bad and was dirty. Stove as barely big enough to cook on and the Tolit kept trying to clog up. Plus being Disabled made it very difficult due to only one elevator. My room was at the second floor and at the opposite end of the hotel where the elevator was located. But they had some good qualities, like the bed was supper comfortable, and it was nice having a tv in every room even though it was not needed. The suite was huge but both bathrooms were in poor condition and there were soap and shampoo dispensers but they were empty. The staff was extremely professional and very courteous and the morning free breakfast was nice and good food options. But they didn’t have fresh water which was inconvenient, because the choices were coffee tea or juice . I got in on Expedia so I felt it was a bit overpriced. Oh and also $10 a night for parking which was unessasery.
Small two burner stove that is too small for two pans at once
Timer you had to turn to use the stove ,. Very inconvenient
Nice large bathrooms
Nice separate room for privacy

Great customer service esp breakfast cooks, our lady was so personable and courteous called everyone friend. She small and petite, but mighty carrying boxes bigger than her to refill empty breakfast items and drinks. I wish we had gotten her name because she deserves a raise!

Don’t stay here

This was one of the worst experiences I have had and I stay in hotels a lot. The location is great, the hotel itself is pretty good, and the employees were all friendly. That is the extent of the positive reviews. I was given keys to my room only to find out they didn’t work. I went back to the desk where she fixed the keys. I went back to the assigned room and the keys worked! However, when I opened the door I quickly realized the room was already occupied. I went back to the desk and the lady was shocked saying it didn’t show anyone in that room. She gave me a new room. I went back up opened the door to that room only to realize I was given a single king rather than a two bedroom suite (I have 6 kids, a one king room isn’t going to cut it). I caught her in the hall on her way to check the first room she had no clue was occupied. I told her she gave me the wrong room. She told me I booked a single room king. I showed her my confirmation for my two room suite (the first room which was occupied was a two room suit). She argued with me but then realized she had the wrong name. I was finally given the correct room. The room was pretty clean but in one bathroom there was only a third of a roll of toilet paper and a half roll in the other with no extra toilet paper left in the room. Don’t count on breakfast they don’t restock and were out of everything both mornings. They are very understaffed and all trash cans were overflowing. I would not stay here again.

Started off with an unpleasant check-in. Apparently using Expedia is frowned upon by the property. The room had mold, and very run down. They must have known it was a bad room because when I let them know I was not staying my entire planned stay, they offered to move rooms and didn’t deny anything. Still waiting on my refund for the days I didn’t stay and the lady at the desk said “and something more for your troubles”.

No extra blankets or towels in room AC unit did not work so we were freezing couldn’t put it up or down. They need to have more people during breakfast because the last day we were there poor guy was on his own so food was not out no coffee. We ended up leaving and bought breakfast instead

Spacious Comfort for the Family

The two bedroom suite was perfect for our family vacation. The location was safe, near restaurants and shopping, and close to San Diego Zoo Safari Park. An outdoor pool and grills were available (although we didn't use them). Booking on Hotels.com was easy. Check-in was simple. The staff was kind. And the room was as described, spacious, clean and comfortable. Would stay with Sonesta again.
