Sonesta ES Suites Orlando - International Drive

This used to be my go to hotel for business trips in Orlando because it is close to everything and the rooms come with a small kitchen. My last stay felt like a step down from what I am used to here. There were some repair issues that needed to be addressed with the bathroom fixtures and there was a sketchy waterspot in one of the closets. Despite all of that, it is still a good value for the area.

Perfect for our family of 6. Location is great, too. We would definitely stay here again.

Great suite with a Kinect

The room was not what we expected at all. The walls, vents, baseboards and furniture had years of dust and scum on them. I had to clean and disinfect the room the first night in order to feel comfortable. Management was friendly and polite but the condition of the room was very gross.

We previously stayed in Sonesta Chatsworth so decided to stick with same company for our Orlando trip. This turned out not to be such a great idea. Check in was smooth but upon arrival we immediately noticed our room was dirty. I opened the dishwasher to find dirty dishes, we could feel dirt on the bottom of our feet from the floor, the remotes were dirty although placed in plastic sleeves, the night stands & other shelving had dust on them, the tub in the secondary room was also dirty. This was a large family reunion trip & I later found out that other guests had similar issues with the cleanliness of their room. When I called the front desk I was only offered for someone to come clean the floor & told I could come to the front desk to retrieve dishwasher detergent. I know hotels within the same company are run differently, but it was disappointing to have to go down to the front desk for every single thing we needed. We had to go down multiple times for trash bags, dish washing needs, towels, etc. In Chatsworth these basic items were already in our room or staff brought things to us. We have small children so this was all quite unfortunate to not have a clean space for them & to keep having to go downstairs for items.

The hotel was nice and very spacious. It was for a birthday girls trip and I can say we enjoyed our time! The staff is nice and I love the area was close to everything and in walking distance. Literally across from icon park. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love this place. Updated and modern. Clean for the most part. Only issue is the floor wasn’t mopped. Socks and feet were super black lol

We were supposed to stay 4 nights but ended up checking out 2 days earlier due to the ant infestation. The front desk employee was really understanding and moved us to another room. The new room was worse and also had ants and a filthy bath tub. All they could offer was a refund for the remaining two nights and we had to find another hotel to stay at for the night. The picture shown is just one spot on the kitchen counter. They were all over the kitchen counter, kitchen sink, dining room table, bathroom floor, bathroom counter, and closet dresser. When I moved hotels I had ants that crawled in my suitcase from Sonesta. I will not be staying here again and would not recommend to anyone.

The hotel was super nice and the pool was heated

This hotel is fantastic. Great location, extremely clean, spacious, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. We will be staying here again.
