Well communicated and comfortable stay
Pros:

The pool was out of order for the night. There was sugar ants in the room. None the less, the room was the perfect size for my crew.

Cons:

Nothing really, our concerns were met and we were accommodated by the staff. I just wish they had breakfast

Excellent location and friendly, helpful staff made for a wonderful stay at Sonesta!
Pros:

Location, friendly staff, comfortable bed, nice pool area

Cons:

Nothing except our bathroom could have used some repairs. The sink was super slow to drain, the tub drain was very poorly caulked, pealing & rusty looking paint on bath door trim. It was very clean though!

Tempe Beach - Road Trip 2026
Pros:

Location was great, staff was wonderful

Cons:

We had to move rooms (313 over to 316) due to plumbing issues. The room was smaller and balcony was odd view and loaded with bird poop 🥲 not as good as initial room and the chair was a twin where as other room had larger double.
We also had issues with our keys.
Gym is OK -Small but efficient.

Dumpy and overpriced
Pros:

The location was great and was the primary driver for booking this property. The staff was also very friendly.

Cons:

Upon entering our room, the smell of marijuana was very prevalent, even though it explicitly stated in the room that it wasn't allowed. The entire property seemed in need of attention and some TLC. The main elevator closest to the lobby looked like it hadn't been vacuumed for weeks, the carpet tiles looked like they should have been replaced years ago and the protective metal paneling towards the bottom was curled up in one section. Dark bathroom with a single light hiding the debris and hair around the edges of the bathroom. Overall, this hotel seemed dumpy and overpriced.
