Sonesta Simply Suites Seattle Renton

We stayed here two years ago with no issue. This time was miserable. The entire building smelled like cigarettes and chemicals. Our noses and throats were burning within minutes of walking through the door. Our room smelt fine until the air turned off and instantly the smell began. We booked to stay here again after our cruise and cancelled the second stay. Staff was not helpful and acted like there wasn’t an issue.

The staff is friendly and helpful. The room was clean. The carpets are dated and getting threadbare. Though against the posted rules there are guests smoking pot in their rooms. At one point in the evening you could get a contact high if you walked down the hall. I would caution having children here.

I travel a lot for work and at a project a week to two months so I need a place that is quiet with kitchen to cook. Plenty of parking for larger truck. Do not like having to pay for parking and bed was way too soft. Had to flip over mattress and sleep on coil side yet it was much better for my back. Nice to get maid service every 3-4 days. Would stay here again and decent pricing.

Beds were very confortable and was very nice to have a kitchen, specially when traveling with family for sports. Furniture definitely needs to be upgraded, sofa and chair in living room area definitely need to be cleaned. Our shower towels were stained, requested to get clean ones but there was no room service, had to go to front desk to get them, which was a little inconvenient being front desk was in a whole different building.

When I reserved the room on Hotels.com, the website claimed that the minimum age to check in would be 18. However when it came time to check in I was told I could not do so since I am not above the minimum age of 21. Sonesta refused to cancel my reservation or refund me for this so my girlfriend and I were left without a hotel room for the night.
