First "greeted" by cold, rude staff who were EXTREMELY nice to the person in front of me. Her name was Tatianna, i believe. I was very nice to her the entire time since i work in customer service. I hoped i could win her over with kindness. Nope, didnt work. Only when she saw that i had a disabled lic plate was she nice at all. The AC stopped working completely after the first night. There was an ongoing leak in the lobby. The furniture was damaged in the room. Dishwasher had a leak in the room. TVs were all very dim. Other guests were pernitted to bring electric scooters into their rooms, wear no shoes in the lobby/dinning area, and leave heaps of garbage in the hallways. Our room was right next to the AC machine for the entire building which meant that we heard it run all the time. That part wasnt terrible because we have fans at home. So we tune out that white noise pretty easy. It is just everything else on top of this. Toilet in the room had a very weak flush. We have stayed a few times since i come to LA for work. The two previous times were good. We enjoy the breakfast and it was not this bad when we stayed before at all. I dont see why we would continue to stay here with the horrible woman who worked the counter when we arrived combined with the gross accomodations. The only saving grace experience was the woman who helped me buy some drinks from their convience store and checked me out of this place. Sonesta ES do better.
