Sonesta ES Suites Orlando - Lake Buena Vista

Tara Christie

Stayed in September for 3 weeks. Hotel was lovely and clean. The suite was a little dated but perfect. The staff were so friendly and always said hello when they passed. Enjoyed the pool. Perfect location for Disney. Lots around to enjoy. Would 100% stay again!

You Get What You Pay For I recently stayed at the Sonesta ES Suites in Orlando for three nights. While there were some positives, a few issues made the experience less enjoyable. Pros: • Great Location: Perfect for visiting the parks, with easy access to everything. • Comfortable Beds: After long days at the parks, we slept very well. • Friendly Breakfast Staff: The staff at the breakfast restaurant were very kind. Cons: 1. No Housekeeping for Short Stays: Guests staying less than seven days don’t receive housekeeping, meaning no trash removal or bed-making. For a three-night stay, this was inconvenient. 2. Maintenance Issues: One of the bathrooms in our suite had a broken shower handle, and the other didn’t have a shower curtain. This caused water to flood the floor every time we showered. 3. Unresolved Problems: Although staff replaced towels on designate day (Monday), they didn’t address the missing shower curtain despite noticing the wet floors. 4. Strong, Persistent Odor: Every time we entered the suite, there was a strong smell, like chlorine, mildew, or something that made it seem as if the room had been closed up for a long time. Even after three days, the smell didn’t go away. Ultimately, you really get what you pay for. We didn’t pay much for this place, so we didn’t have high expectations, but the persistent odor, lack of housekeeping, and maintenance issues made the stay less pleasant.

By far the worst hotel we have ever stayed at. We came from Texas to Orlando and we needed somewhere comfortable to stay a few days. Upon entering the room it smelt humid like mildew. The handle to one of the rooms was broken and the AC unit was not working. My husband & I started having difficulty breathing and we didn't know what was causing it.. We took off the pillowcases from the pillows only to find Mold under them. We left immediately and will never be coming back. Stay away from this hotel at all costs.. I'm now fighting a respiratory infection due to this filthy property.

Me, my wife, and our two young children stayed here October 25-27, 2024. Overall it wasn't horrible but it was pretty dated and didn't feel like the cleanest. You can obviously tell that they had painted over all the walls, railings, and even planter pots in order to update it, but the old green/teal was still showing through. The rooms smelt like bleach and a hint of mould. After walking around the room barefoot as soon as we arrived, I jumped into the shower and noticed the brown dirty footprint in the shower which would have only just come from the floors I was walking on. They had car air fresheners hanging from the vents in each of the bedrooms. However, having the separate room and bathrooms for the kids was a big perk, and the fridge and oven came in handy! The kids had fun using the pool and hot tub.

Not too bad of a place. I did not like the surprise parking fees and the rooms seem to be outdated. They really need some new dishwashers. The Starbucks isn’t really a Starbucks. But overall, I think it was worth the value. My daughter left behind some items in the room, and the cleaning staff was able to mail it back to us. That cheered us right up.
