Sonesta Essential Hotel Blue Springs

Exceptional

Very good

Liked: The breakfast was great! Alot of options. Loved the shower! Bed was comfortable. Cozy room
Disliked: Need a light over the bathroom mirror or another mirror in the room somewhere, for applying makeup. Windows were not adequate for keeping out the noise, but thank God for my fan!

Good stay..... BUT

Liked: Location was close to family and the value was good. Room was clean and nice.
Disliked: At night the 3rd floor reeked of cigarette and weed smoke. I also had 2 charges to my room for the snacks that you can buy in the hotel and the 1st time I was brushed off by the older gentleman behind the desk saying nothing was charged and the 2nd time a younger gentleman saw the 2 charges and refunded me immediately. If you're going to offer food and drink to be charged to a room you should ask to see an ID to make sure they belong to that room! I would have been out $35 because the first guy refused to do any looking for me.

Very good

Good Value for the money.

Liked: Breakfast was ok but the coffee situation was really bad. Would like a normal coffee pot with hot coffee. Facility was old but bed was comfort and shower had good pressure with hot water. The staff was great. Fix the coffee and my score goes up.

Liked: Initially hesitant due to some alarming previous reviews from various web sources, I decided to take a chance on this hotel—and I'm incredibly glad I did. Since check-in, the experience has been nothing short of impressive.Check-In and Common AreasThe check-in process was seamless, requiring only a $100 refundable deposit. The front desk was welcoming, and the common areas were immaculately maintained—clean, neatly arranged, and inviting.Room CleanlinessWalking through the halls, I was immediately struck by the pristine conditions. The hallways were spotless, with no visible stains or dirt. The air carried a clean bleach-water scent, which might not be everyone's favorite, but to me, it signaled thorough and proper cleaning—far preferable to lingering odors of weed or cigarettes.Queen Suite HighlightsThe suite exceeded expectations in every way:- Two queen beds with ample storage (upper and lower cabinets)- Fully functional TV requiring no additional setup- Convenient kitchenette with microwave and mini-fridge- Clever room layout providing some privacy with a separate sink area- Very soft comfortable beds, linens & pillowsBathroom and ShowerThe bathroom was surprisingly spacious, with:- Clean, stain-free towel linens- An immaculately maintained shower- A shower curtain that was both visually and hygienically cleanAs someone particularly concerned about cleanliness, I was impressed that the room and bathroom appeared cleaner than many other accommodations in the area. The attention to detail was remarkable—no dust, no crumbs, no mysterious stains.☆Final Thoughts☆What began as a cautious booking turned into a delightful week-long stay (& continuing). For those worried by previous negative reviews, I can confidently say this hotel offers exceptional value and cleanliness.
