I like the convenience it's near the airport the price is always right the only thing is it should be more places to eat it's only for that see you would have to have a car or lift or Uber to the other places for lunch or dinner.

This is by far the worse property I have ever stayed at in all the years of traveling! It was so filthy dirty! The staff had no idea of what customer service was all about. The night I checked in, the worker behind the desk literally kept his big set of earphones on and we could barely understand him. The health department should shut them down!

The front desk attendant lied straight to my face about the pool. I checked in around 8:30pm, went straight to the pool and the gate was locked. Asked the front desk about it and he responded "The pool is closed." I asked, "What time does it close?" He said "9:00pm." He let me in when I responded "It's not 9:00 pm." The sign above the pool says it closes at midnight. 😑 The hotel is cheap, so you get what you pay for.

Worst hotel experience at Houston.
This hotel really needs a lot of work in every area.Starting with the staff, not wearing an uniform or an ID that identify them as employees. The breakfast was an important aspect for me in order to save, however the food was soo poor that not even coffee was ready. The room was in terrible shape, we have a toilet that every time we flushed, water started to came out from the base. I will not come back to this hotel, I will like to share the photos that I took but this app doesn't allow me to do it.

Ugly Hotel
For Star the inside of the hotel lobby looked very outdated and the hallway on the first floor going to the elevator looked terrible. The door going up the stairs was in bad condition looked like it was going to fall as soon as you open it.

Lousy service. They make you call a thousand times to give you instructions for the shuttle and is already fall. Super bad planning and organization: they should ask how many people and offer more transportation or not offer anything at all

Worst hotel ever
The room was absolutely terrible! There was a period stain on the covers and a bandaid in the towel that the provided! Like did they even clean the place. And when brought to the managers attention he rolled his eyes and stated that all he could do was give new blankets and towels. Absolutely disgusting, I would not recommend this place!!

The hotel is close to the airport. The hotel was easy to get to from Beaumont. The hotel was easy to check-in even thought it was 11pm when we got there. There was plenty of spaces to park and easy to get back into the hotel. The room was spacious and clean. It was a quick overnight stay but would stay there again.

SHAME on Sonesta!
SHAME ON SONESTA! We chose this hotel because we are familiar with the Sonesta brand and also because we wanted to stay near the airport for our early morning departure the next day. We were greeted in the room with a live roach. The toilet seat was broken, and the toilet paper holder was barely hanging on the wall. We immediately called down to the front desk. The desk clerk moved our room across the hall to a room that was not much better. The chair in the room was covered/stained with human body fluids, the toilet seat in this room was also broken, and a couple of dead roaches on the floor. It was late and we were exhausted, so with no alternative but to leave, we bit the bullet and stayed. But it was GROSS! Shame on Sonesta to allow a location to exist in this condition

Pretty sure the hotel is being run by drug using, unstable people. Invthe lobby there was rough construction materials. It is filthy. The carpets were horrifying. Half done painting and finishes. Its like someone's drunk uncles was hired for maintenance. Neighborhood also sketchy. I went down to catch an uber at 3:30 in the morning and there were two cops hauling out a homeless guy who snuck into the hotel. This place needs to be investigated and shutdown. It smelled like day old fried donuts, too.
