Overall it’s a deal. Close to interstate and places to eat, staff nice, not bad for business travel. My room smelled like people had smoked in it, so ask for a dedicated non-smoking room.

Appears very new. Lovely place. Quick stop so didn’t get use pool or fitness room, tho both looked great. Very comfy and spacious room. Only problem there was no mirror outside the bathroom. So the second person couldn’t take care of hair and makeup until the other was out.

We have stayed at this hotel several times...simply for the price. Rooms (furniture, beds) really need an update. Breakfast has always been great but this stay was terrible. Everything was cold. Biscuits were like rocks. Even the toaster didnt work. There had always been someone manning the breakfast, but not on this stay.

Lobby was large with a pleasing decor.Everything was very clean. Room was comfortable. There was a fenced area for the dog to run around in. This was my first time to stay in a Sonesta hotel and I will check them when traveling in the future. Recommend this particular one if you're looking for a clean comfortable reasonably priced room will traveling through KS.
