Many lovely previous stays but so dirty never gain.
Pros:

We have stayed at this hotel many times. We love the central international drive location with easy transport links. Staff always lovely and helpful.

Cons:

The accommodation was dirty, we arrived and found it dirty and thought the cleaner would clean it but it took 8 days for us to notice a cleaner has been in and only as we had fresh towels. The beds were only made on the last 3 days of our 11 night trip and the bedding never changed. We could tell it was nearly tip time as on the last two days we had the towels changed every day and the beds made. We have decided it will be our last stay.

L’hôtel et le personnel sont sympathiques et réactifs, la literie est très bonne mais on se sent très mal dans l’apparte
Pros:

L’emplacement - l’accueil et le personnel- la piscine et le jacuzzi - la literie - la taille des pièces et le rangement

Cons:

Propreté problématique: sol qui laisse les pieds noirs, meubles collants et sales, toilettes pas nettoyées correctement, baignoire et rideau pas très propres - toilette et porte d’entrée cassées mais réparées en urgence - cuisine mal équipée (pas de chiffon, couverts limités et assez sales, pas assez de plaques de cuisson et trop petites, manques d’ustensiles- de casseroles, …) - meubles et décoration vieillissantes

Sweet Stay at The Sonesta!
Pros:

Our stay was excellent from beginning to end! The front desk team, especially Vanessa and Juan, made us feel genuinely welcomed. Vanessa was incredibly warm, friendly, and thoughtful. She noticed that I had requested an early check-in due to a recent surgery and traveling with our pet, and she made sure to notify us as soon as a room became available.

Juan went above and beyond by helping me get to my room since I was recovering from surgery and unable to manage our luggage comfortably. His kindness and willingness to help made a huge difference.

We also loved how pet-friendly the hotel was. Our pet received a warm welcome with a food and water bowl and a pet mat, which was such a thoughtful touch.

The accommodations were perfect for our family of seven—two adults and five children. The suite came with 2 separate bedrooms and bathrooms, living room, sofa bed, kitchen and kitchen table set for four. We had plenty of space and everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

The hotel is also 3 miles from all the parks. The exceptional customer service and attention to detail made this a wonderful experience, and we would gladly stay here again. Highly recommend!
