The room was dirty. The floor in the room was not clean, also the bathroom floor was dirty also. Cleanliness was a fail. The bed looked like someone just got off of it before i walked in the room.

Don’t stay there.
This hotel needs renovated. It is literally falling apart. Wood trim fell down from the light and hit me in the head. Toilet would not flush unless I took off the lid and wiggled the inside parts.

The place was great, the name change threw us when we were making the reservation. The only thing that was disappointing was that there were no sausages for breakfast, there was a spot for them but it was empty. Thank you!

This property generally in great shape. Lobby, hallways and rooms look great. But it is showing signs that the owners have stopped putting money into it. They are out of the plastic cups that are used for bathrooms and juice at the breakfast bar. You have to get a New coffee cup, and unwrap it for these needs. I stayed two nights, and asked about getting a Fresh room for the third night. I was told that no housekeeping staff was coming in on Sunday to clean rooms so I was out of luck. Front desk staff was Trying to take care of the breakfast bar, and even doing Housekeeping work when needed. The breakfast food was generally inedible, except the coffee was good.

"Essential" Means "Barely Adequate"
This was my first stay at the Sonesta Essential Fairmont. The event was a college football game, and though I made the reservation months ago, the usual places I stay were booked up. The location (on the property of the redeveloped Middletown Mall) is good. The night before, they called to 'confirm' my reservation. I get electronic reminders frequently, but not a call from the property for decades. Odd. The first room we were placed in had not been cleaned; the toilet, in particular was filthy and would not flush properly. The second room was likewise dirty; the third, finally was 'clean' (except for a horrible stain on the carpet). The A/C unit was set to cool at 60 degrees. By the time we were settled into our room, it was too late to go to a favorite locally owned restaurant next door. We ended up at Applebee's. The drain in the tub was slow, and the drain knob not attached. There is no mat to prevent slipping in the tub in the accumulated water. For some reason, the main entrance to the hotel is in the back. Here is a partial list of other items deemed "non-essential" by Sonesta: * Signage to guide you to the property * In-room coffee service * Housekeeping service * Real eggs -- there is a hot breakfast, but the scrambled eggs are powdered. Further, there is no cheese or salsa to cover this fact up. A batter dispenser hinted at the presence of waffle maker, but it wasn't there. This is now my LAST choice of hotels in the area.

Quick stop over for a night on way home. Check in was amazing and Nick was very helpful. Room was clean I guess. Many stains on carpet and one of the beds the sheet was dull- not white like the others. Very few towels in the bathroom and they were very thin. Complimentary breakfast was good but the table were not being wiped down and had to ask for Tea bags.
