What guests think

At Sonesta Select Atlanta Norcross I 85, reviews describe a budget stay with convenient highway access but notable downsides, especially recurring hallway odors and cleanliness concerns plus intermittent hot‑water problems.

Some stays were quiet with comfortable beds and occasionally very clean rooms, and several guests praised friendly, attentive front‑desk staff. Common frustrations include the pool frequently closed, no elevator, limited or inconsistent breakfast despite listings, broken ice machines, and weak in‑room amenities like missing microwaves or unreliable TVs and phones. Location is convenient to I‑85 and dining, though a few felt the area and parking lot looked rough. Overall, expect a basic, low‑cost stop with trade‑offs in upkeep and reliability.

Where do I start? The rugs in the hallways were filthy with little pieces of trash everywhere, the key didn't work for the security doors so we had to use the main entrance and some of the guests propped the doors open so people can come and go, cloning people that were staying at the hotel. There was no breakfast which was advertised, and the pool was dry! The towels were flimsy and needed to be replaced. The dryer had tape on it so it didn't work. The property was said to be smoke-free but there was a definite aroma of marijuana in the air. There was also no hairdryer in the room and the phones were gutted, all of the guts were taken out of the phone. In the first room we were assigned the TV did not work. If you're looking for a cheap place to stay with no amenities than this might be the place for you.

It consisted of boiled eggs in a pkg, dry toast /bagels and crumbs of cereal. -no microwave in the room. -ice machine was broken . We tried to cancel the remaining reservation prior to checkout and was told there was nothing that could be done and that we would be charged. I would highly recommend NOT staying at this property.

No pre information that pool had been down, Has Failed inspections for all summer. ALSO. No public Ice machines working in hallways. Also has been this way for awhile. Only one person but a friendly desk staff to go into back kitchen to bring ice bucket from room to fill up, for everyone. Starbucks sign should be taken down as Service discontinued. Breakfast is all sugar cereal, muffins, and white bread except small bowl of oranges. 4 bagels gone in a flash and one desk is working very hard handling it and the desk. On a good note, our single king room with side couch was clean and quiet and comfortable with gr\\eat black out curtains. Too bad their is no guide for the TV channels. Location was perfect just off interstate.

This was one of the worst, most nastiest hotels I've ever stayed in. Outside, all the grassy areas were littered with dog fecies. As soon as we walked inside to go to our room, you could smell the stench of cigarettes/weed under the smell of air freshener. The floors were filthy and the walls were dirty/scuffed. The rooms were even worse. Several things were broken and didn't work. It smelled awful, there were cigarette burns in several places. Many things on the walls were crooked, (shelves, mirror, outlet covers...). The lobby snack area had barely any snacks/drinks. The ice machine was out of order and they offered no breakfast/coffee in the morning, despite having a breakfast area. I paid $100 deposit for 2 rooms, when I checked out the hotel clerk, had the audacity to check the rooms to see if they smelled like smoke! The whole hotel smelled of smoke/weed. I got my deposit back, still, I felt it was unnecessary.

Wall paper are peeling off & dried liquid, I dare say bodily fluid, all over the walls. I booked for 2 days, couldn’t wait to check out. I only stayed cause i could barely keep my eyes open from my long travel & couldn’t risk driving. STAY AWAY!!

The hotel is dated meaning the room that i was in have furniture from either the 1980's or 1990's. The carpet in tbe common areas along with the room needs to either be replaced or clean. The water in the bathroom take awhole to drain once the shower shut off. The room appeared to look clean but everything is dated. There's no elevator so if a disabled person want to stay there it must be on the first floor. Or if the customer has trouble climbing the stairs, it would also be a problem. The carpet in the area with the stairs is frayed in some areas and the wall needs to be replastered. On my second night there, the room next to the room I was in has a barking dog that barked throughout the night. I left at 5:00 am EST due to the noise and i let the front desk know. I probably won't stay there in the future unless updates are to the hotel

I'm not sure if it was Expedia or Google, but whichever site said the property offered a breakfast was wrong. I didn't even see coffee in the lobby, just a water pitcher. The lobby was nice and the cleanliness of the rooms was acceptable, but the bathroom vents was letting heavy smoke, like someone went through a whole pack of cigarettes at once into my room. The TV didn't power on and it was attached to some wall mount where I couldn't see how it was connected. There was no remote, either, which made me think they're aware of the problem and just don't care. The shower knob fell off. On m my way out, I left before the second night, the door closest to my car was locked. I asked a housekeeping employee standing a few feet away where the next closest exit was and she shrugged her shoulders and walked off.

Even though the check in time was 3 pm , the host could have had empathy or at least, had a satisfactory attitude toward the 15 mins until 3:00 pm saying “ rudely “ the hotel has a check in time at “ 3:00 pm “ Also my stay was 3 days and my card needed to be scanned for entry to our room, the( SAME) HOST at the front desk around 2 pm was again” RUDE” with having me wait while performing another task instead of putting the customer first , He had no rush of urgency but instead, was in no hurry to manage my situation with the key!! The microwave was damaged, several stains on the carpet floor plus cigarette smokers leaving the doors to the exit open with , cigarette smoke entering the walk way of the hotel floor , instead of the host being rude , he should have been on his job , making sure the hotel was tip top .. Just a bad experience all around !!!

Looked for in-expensive place for a concert weekend yet needed between GT and La Vaquita. A little sketchy area but didn't feel unsafe. Room was good. Def recommend it. Hall carpet and stairways not so clean but again my room was so I was ok with that. The outside parking lot was dirty and no vehicle info was given at the desk so not sure who else had their vehicles parked. Thankfully our vehicle was parked outside our window so we could keep check on it. Didn't notice no continental breakfast until the next morning when we were hungry. Not a big deal breaker. Overall for the price and the cleanliness of the room I WOULD stay here again.

The ratings said that this was a good property and area to stay in; however, that was far from the truth. Upon checking in, the carpets throughout the building were horrible. Our room door had a catch in it so it was hard to open, and the rooms do not come with microwaves. There are communal ones to use (even though the rooms stated they came with a microwave). The first night staying there my husband and I were woke up by a woman banging at our door saying "help! He is going to kill me please open the door!" followed by a man saying "Yeah I'll shoot you". The cops were called to the hotel more than three times for domestic violence situations. Also!! Prosititution is HIGHHHHH in this area. My husband and I noticed that this hotel and the one down the street (Horizon) kept having police show up often. So, we looked into it and prostitution and trafficking are high in this area. So..... poor all around.

2nd time here, as clean and quiet as the first. Breakfast was typical continental with a few extras, which makes it above average these days. Pretty good coffee and even had oranges and yogurt. I was visiting in the Suwanee/Lawrenceville area and have stayed at several places in Suwanee, Duluth and Norcross at or above this price range and have been somewhat dissatisfied with all of them. Usually issues with gross smells or flat out humidity due to the wall unit. This place is always super comfortable, bed and sheets are good and you even have your own thermostat that you can adjust. Minor gripes would include no microwave (though i'll take that over roach risk), no dryer, and the tv was kinda small and did not have a lot of channels. But, would definitely stay here as long as the price remains in this range.

Not only were there things pictured that were not available (pool, restaurant, Starbucks), but their own messages when you turn on the tv still says these are features of the hotel, even though the lady at the front desk said the restaurant has not been open for MONTHS! The manager was "not there" the entire length of our stay. The room was dirty, and MANY things were broken/in need of repair (the light when you first walk in, the cabinet door where the fridge is kept, the faucet, the toilet paper holder, the shower curtain rod, the flusher on the toilet, electrical outlets were loose) and there was only 1 tiny garbage can in the room. Not to mention that was trash piled up inside and outside the hotel. Ice machine was not working so they provided a cooler with no lid and an ice scooper provided up front. This "non-smoking" hotel smelled like cigarettes in the hallway and dog pee in the room. We know were not the only ones unhappy because there was another guest there arguing with the front desk clerk and the police were even there. If I had not already paid for the room through expedia we would not have stayed there. The whole reason that we chose this hotel over hundreds in the area was for the features that were not even available. Staff did not care, told me to contact Expedia for a refund.
