4/10 Fair

The hotel is currently under renovation. A lot of painting and maintenance is being done. In my room the carpet was dirty and stained. The couch was dirty and stained. The bathroom was clean and the bed was comfortable. There were roaches in the dresser cabinet. The breakfast was adequate but not great. Asked to check in 15 minutes early and was told it would be $30 extra.

Issa No for me

When I say don’t stay here I mean DONT ! The rooms were disgusting and smelled of old outside urine, stains everywhere and on everything I could not stay here I canceled and booked somewhere else Lets add the random crackhead that came in put his feet up in the lobby then casually laid out on the floor while eating watermelon I honestly would not recommend the online pictures are very deceiving

Horrible

When we arrived I had to use the restroom but was told it was for employees only. So I had to check in while needing to pee badly. Second the AC was horrible, room was hot. The carpets were badly stained and there was a live roach in the bed. Never will stay here again!!!

THIS PLACE IS TRASH

False advertising, the hotel is dirty, smells like pure bleach and cigarettes all around the rooms. Everything including all the counters were dirty in my room. Curtains and blinds were broken into pieces, toilet and bed had stains on them. This was so bad I checked out within 2 hours of being there
Brodrick, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

My stay at the Sonesta Essential Houston Hobby Airport property was one of the worst stays I’ve ever experienced. We booked our stay at the airport on the day of our stay. I’ve stayed at many Sonesta properties in the past so I felt comfortable booking this location. Little did I know what I was stepping into. I called the property approximately 30 times to no avail. It kept sending me to an answering and text service. The text came through 45 mins after the initial call. My mother tried calling as well as airport staff trying to help. I tried TJ arrange for shuttle pickup and that never happened. We had to uber. Upon arrival, the front desk worker appeared lackadaisical as I explained to her that the phone system appears to be down and no one replied to the numerous texts. I called the number in front of her and she looked stunned that the phone wasn’t ringing. We got a room w/a broken shower. I had to go to another room to shower. Maintenance never came to fix our shower. There were multiple pp

2/10 Poor

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!!!

Working its way up

Hotel is obviously in the midst of an upgrade. You can still find some items of the former named hotel around. TVs, bedding, carpet all newer upgrades. Breakfast needs some work, but change tales time and plenty of breakfast spots close by. Great Mexican restaurant next door.

Need better staff

I had a 38 min wait to get checked in. There isn’t a public restroom available in the general area only for staff. I booked a king suite was given a basic handicap room. I complained to the receptionist he didn’t want to change my room. The carpets recked which caused the room to have an odor. Breakfast wasn’t on time and closed early. 1 Elevator didn’t work the other definitely needs maintenance. The second day of my stay my key on longer worked and again the receptionists slow and rude she didn’t want to provide her name. She wasn’t aware of how the booking process worked she was having to call other people to help guide her thru the check in process.

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!!
