The property is tucked away in the woodsy area. Outside of the building look beautiful but inside got a weird smell to it as we enter into the front door. We booked it a room on the third floor, so the elevator is sort of dirty in the hallway was very unclaimed you can see stuff falling down from the ceiling. Our room at first glance seems okay but then we didn't notice a few hair on top of the bed sheet, pull back the cover to check the mattress and there was a sign of bed bugs let those black spot all over the mattress, and they were also some urine stain on both mattress in our room. The bathroom was nice and there's a small fridge in there which was kind of cool. We didn't end up staying after 20 minutes being in there. The front desk trying to offer us another room but we were too tired to deal with it and we didn't want to experience the same thing. I was too grossed out by the last room didn't want to have the same experience so we went somewhere else.

The pool was closed, our carpet was sticky and filthy. Someone entered our room while we were out. There were dirty men’s footprints all over the bathroom that weren’t there before we left for the evening. We left at 1am due to the overall nastiness and rude staff.

No Restaurant, No Bar…don’t trust the description.
We just stayed at this hotel the past weekend. I booked it specifically for the restaurant and breakfast option to help with our schedule. False advertising! No bar, no restaurant, dry cereal as the “breakfast”, the pool was closed, no maid service. Ug! It was a busy weekend in Birmingham so we paid like $140 per night. It was complete robbery.

Where to begin? Upon arriving for check in, the front desk was in disarray and dirty. The lobby was not clean (carpets, mirrors, glass, etc.). The employee was not very helpful or efficient with the number of people he was dealing with. The elevator was dirty and missing the elevator certificate. Then upon getting onto my floor, the carpet was not vacuumed with some white specs of something all down the hallway. My room was about the same, although not as bad. The wall mounted thermostat did not work, but the unit in the window did. The shower curtain was ripped. Some of the outlets in the room DID NOT work so my phone did not charge overnight. The setup of this hotel is very weird. The back of the hotel is what is facing the main road that you access it from, so you will miss it BECAUSE there is no sign pointing you to the parking lot. Nothing. Absolutely a poor layout. The pool was closed. The food in the morning is NOT a hot breakfast. The night before I stayed at another hotel for less money (Best Western) that had it. Then the last thing... there are cargo containers everywhere in the parking lot. I asked, on check out this morning why that was. I was told that they are in the process of remodeling. I guess in the meanwhile, they are letting the property and the experience of staying there fall into the toilet. Terrible. Believe the bad review and ignore the stellar reviews. Seriously.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT COME HERE. THERE WERE ROACHES IN OUR ROOM. I’d post the photos if I could. The property was filthy from top to bottom. The lobby was unswept, the hallways were absolutely filthy—floors hadn’t seen a vacuum or carpet scrubber in months. There were large PILES of crushed food and dirt in the carpet. In our hallway near the ice machine was just a bag of trash and SOME KIND OF ANIMAL BONE on the floor—I assume from a chicken wing? But who knows. And it was picked clean so SOMETHING in that building got to it after a human—if it was even discarded food. Elevator floor was sticky—and EVERY WALL IN THE BUILDING had gouges or filth on them.

Filthy Halls and Room Floors
The hotel is going through a remodel and it appears that no one is cleaning. The elevator hallway floors and room floors are filthy. I did not dare put my bare feet on the floor. The first room they put me in smelled, like cigarette smoke. I asked to be moved to another room and that room smelled sour snd musty. The bathroom was not cleaned and the little shampoos and lotions had been used and not replaced, leaving them half full on the sink. The continental breakfast left much to be desired. Do better, Sonesta.

Not great
Check in was fast and easy . The parking lot was littered w/ shipping crates but didn’t see any renovations occurring . Pool was closed for maintenance the 4 days we were there w/o any visible maintenance happening. The halls were dirty w/ scraps of debris etc , a splatt of something on the elevator floor was there for a couple days , ice machine on our floor wasn’t working .never saw any housekeeping. This appears to be a family owned hotel . Feel like they really need to invest more in staffing and the hotel itself

I stay at the sonesta colonade in birmingham ala. Before i booked the room i noticed it had nice indoor pool area, restaurant with what looked like gourmet dining plus a bar. So i booked it. I arrived there and the pool was closed to maintenance, it had no restaurant nor bar. The breakfast was oatmeal cereal yogart toast you make yourself orange juice milk and coffee. No eggs, waffles or meat. The shower rod failed down just by touching a towel. The maintenance guy came and fixed with no problem. The front desk was friendly.
