Sonesta Essential La Porte

Hospitality was awesome! Nice and Friendly Staff and a great home away from home place. The back exit door from the parking lot into the hotel hallway did not lock or close properly.

Very clean and modern rooms. The staff was extremely helpful.

Staff was pleasant. The air-conditioning was not very good. Did cool down enough.

Great breakfast. Staff is helpful and very friendly. Rooms are clean. Beds are comfortable. Will stay again.

Food was good. Should have more time for breakfast for later sleepers especially on Saturday.

It was REALLY good. Very clean, helpful from the staff, bed was comfortable, 10 out of 10 I would stay there again and recommend to friends and family

Staff was very helpful

The staff have always been helpful and very friendly. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. The breakfast is fantastic. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family. Thank you!

Staff is friendly and the facility is clean. The bed was not comfortable.

Very good

Check in was fast and easy with friendly staff. The room was clean and cool. I had requested a room on the back side and had a great location.

Superb

Exceptional

Room was clean. Front desk was helpful. Nicely furnished. Pillows were flat. 2 pillows each folded in half stacked on top of each other wasn’t as thick as a normal pillow. It was hard on the neck. 1st room was not good - toilet didn’t flush and ac hardly worked and there was a strong smell of a chemical cleaner. We were given a 2nd room which was much nicer and smelled much better. Breakfast was lacking.

The staff was amazing and accommodating!!

Great staff, they take pride in the property. If you have a problem they jump in right then and there. Good area away from problems, safe spot for you rig.

Very clean and well kept! The gym is decent for working out Only thing I would suggest is the water pressure/ temp .I prefer hotter but over all great bathroom as well.

Poor

I’ve stayed here before so I knew what to expect. They have a grouchy old man running the front desk in the evenings. We stayed 3 nights this time…they never came in and made the bed even when we asked about it. The shower gel container was empty. The kitchen person burned something at 6am and the smoke detectors went off…early. But I’m thankful they had them.

breakfast was horrible

When I spoke to the receptionist about my issues. She was very attentive and moved me to another room. She was definitely the high light of my stay. The floors where sticky and dirty. Bed was uncomfortable and sheets rough, Tub was dirty. No closet or place to hang clothes.

I did have some issue with my shower though. The water pressure was very low and the water did not get very hot.. just slightly more than lukewarm.

I would stay there again,

I reserved the room on line after midnight 9/18/2026 due to power being out at home. When we arrived to check in, we were told we could not check in until 3:00 pm! When I reserved the room online the "18th" was not an option! The clerk was very rude so we left and got a room elsewhere. Only to return the next night to stay because they would not allow us to cancel! We will not be returning to this establishment again!

Very clean rooms. Breakfast was average. One small piece of advice: rooms facing the road are subject to road noise -- ask for a room NOT facing the main road.

Staff were very kind and helpful and the room and property were both well maintained and pretty clean. Would definitely consider staying here again.

A great place to stay, very clean, friendly staff. Great breakfast, everything was awesome.

Friendly staff, clean rooms.

excellent

Friendly Staff

Cuartos limpios, personal muy amable.

The rooms are so good, beds and ambiance are well maintained, staff is very good, friendly and breakfast is so delicious.

Nice cheap hotel, staff are very helpful, rooms are clean, AC works well. However, my ac stopped working my first day but when I notified front desk they moved me to a new room to immediately which had a working ac. The lights in the hallway on floor 3 flicker a lot. Overall a great deal.

Staff was not friendly and poor service

Clean, peaceful and good breakfast

It was not bad

Very nice here wish the price was low r

The hotel itself is nicely renovation with visually appealing selections and seems well maintained. Our room however smelt musty and the linens felt damp. It improved slightly after the air conditioner was turned down but the smell woke me up a few times throughout the night. If we were staying more than 1 night we likely would have asked for a different room. The gym was uncomfortably hot. Breakfast was adequate but the hot items weren’t the best. Eggs had a strange texture (even comparing to standard hospital or powdered eggs). For the value, it was a nice average stay and a nice easy commute to the port of Galveston.

Could improve: breakfast

Everything was great front check in to check out.

The overall appearance of the exterior was well kept up. Upon check in there was a little wait time but that could have been due to the 4th of July. The room was clean and full of towels. The staff was nice. The only thing I didn't care for was the area was kind of industrial but everything else was good. I would recommend staying here.

Friendly staff Clean spot

The hotel itself was spotless, clearly well‑managed, and in a perfect location for everything we needed. The AC worked perfectly and the staff was very nice. The only downside was breakfast. On both mornings we went down to eat, the food was already gone and everything had been put away, leaving us with no options at all. And it was before breakfast time was over.

Only one person to manage front desk. No one tending breakfast area. Understaffed

Water was dropping on your head when sitting on the toilet

Nice, big, clean and great smelling rooms.

The rook constantly smelt like an indian ran gas station. I use a lot of non toxic cleaners at home so it was rough to smell that constantly. I booked it because Sonesta was in the title but it was nothing like a Sonesta. More like a Wyndham. Elevator needed serious upgrading and Maintenance. Breakfast was basic and the coffee machine didn’t work. Computer desk chair was falling apart in room, conditioner wouldn’t pump out product on the wall and fitted sheet had a stain so they either never washed it after previous guest or refuse to throw it out. You can’t see out the windows due to the staining on them, was on the 3rd floor, must of had a bad view. Definitely not worth the price.

The room was clean, smelled nice. I would suggest upgrading the lamps in the room that have USB ports, as this is the technology now. Breakfast was good, coffee was fresh. Check out was easy. I am still waiting on a refund for the night I didnt stay, otherwise I would recommend this establishment.

Everything was perfect for us tho. Nothing to complain. My family is happy with this stay. Thank you

The pool was way too cold to be used in both February and end of June

Staff was friendly, the pool was so cold even in the middle of the June.

Very clean, quiet and decent breakfast. Will definitely come back again.

Out of the way, but on main road. Good bar Man Kynd nearby

The hotel was very nice and convenient.

Not a bad place, a bit out of the way, but a good bar, Man Kybd, close by.

Clean, small breakfast provided every morning helpful staff.

Great location great staff, breakfast was good

The Rooms we clean

Recommended place, even though it's a little isolated. There's always the Man Kind bar close by

Friendly

Very good experience.

the place has a musty smell, almost like its been wet at some point

The stay was great. And worked for the purpose of the stay

Stayed there for one night. Nothing fancy but fairly new place so everything was super clean and you get al the basic amenities. The rooms are at least 30% bigger than the usual. If you’re looking for a good place to sleep at night and not socialize in the hotel , it’s an excellent place. Breakfast is standard with warm offerings. Overall very satisfying stay.

Muy limpio, falta bolsa para ropa sucia, cafetera, secadora de pelo.

The staff were super friendly and everything was very clean and well maintained.

Parking was easy, breakfast was okay, probably it’s time to get a waffle maker but other than that it was all good.

Rooms were very nice and very clean. Bed was comfortable and overall a good place. I stayed over a month for work and the price dropped after staying for a month. Highly recommend

Room and the hotel were fantastic in great shape with a nice bed. Breakfast was ok.

Wonderful stay

La habitacion estaba limpia pero la ropa de cama no olia a limpia y la luz de la habitacion no funcionaba.

Parking was avaliable around the property. The location was perfect for an event that was attending at the Pasadena Fairgrounds, located 10mins away. Staff was very helpful and the cleanliness was outstanding. The pool and fitness center we're great and having breakfast at the location was a plus, didn't need to go looking out for somewhere to eat. Overall this place was more than what was expecting and I'd be more than happier to stay here again.

The hotel was clean and staff were helpful. The local area is also very safe and away from a busy area.

clean room and nice staff. good breakfast ,nice stay for the price.

Nice

Well I couldn’t figure out how to plug the plug in the bath. It wouldn’t stick so I could fill the tub up with water. I called the front desk and poor girl said was only her second day but I used a cup to keep the water in. Motel was clean and all.

Second time staying here that the missed cleaning the room or bringing clean towels. Other than that it was great!

Nice clean room. No need to bother staff. Parking was fine. The manager or staff clerk allowed me and the family to check in at 12:30 vs 3:00. I was very greatful for that. Breakfast was nice but different then other hotels. Fried eggs vs scrambled eggs, potatoes vs hash browns. No waffles. Staff was very attentive to spills and replenishing food. I will stay again.

Superb service and excellent quality

Clean with hot shower, parking with lights at night- felt safe. Good budget option!

The bed was way too hard and lumpy and the room smelled so bad from the cleaner they used and the air conditioner would not stay on.

Nice

It’s clean, well lit, and I (50 y/o woman) felt safe. This is an industrial town, so we are not talking luxury, but it’s more than adequate, with a microwave, refrigerator, small gym and indoor pool. Toiletries are pretty basic as the hotel is geared toward workers in the oilfield industry. Complimentary breakfast is a nice perk. The staff was helpful and they are always cleaning the property. We will likely stay here again when in the area.

At first look you are not sure. Then you walk in to a clean smelling lobby. Great staff, fresh breakfast and comfortable room. I would stay here again.

Breakfast wasn't to my liking but it was clean enough and comfortable. I would stay again

Clean room, like new hotel! Great staff!

Good breakfast

Good breakfast and vlea

Clean rooms Great service

Yes

When selecting a hotel for my 4 night stay, location was probably most important to me. Beyond that, I was very pleased with my room, the comfort of the bed, the free breakfast, and the cleanliness of my room. The AC worked nicely. Parking was plentiful. All in all, no complaints and I would happily stay there again.

Clean, friendly easy check-in and out. Place well kept both inside and out.

Did not eat the breakfast

Great hotel, staff and location

Nice room, nice place nice people

Clean rooms

"We had a wonderful stay! From the moment we walked in, the room smelled amazing and the small details, like the folded toilet paper, made it feel very upscale. The receptionist was incredibly welcoming, offering us water and engaging in genuine conversation. They were even thoughtful enough to give my daughter a treat and extra beverages when we checked out! I was also very impressed by the breakfast service; they consistently checked the quality and brought out fresh eggs and pastries throughout the morning. Such a thoughtful, high-quality experience."

No body lotion

Parking was easy. Checkin was quick. Had a couple of nightowl neighbors and breakfazst could be better but, other than that, no complainrs. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Clean room; friendly, professional staff

Parking was about as secure as any open parking lot is on a busy road. It was well lit.

Very clean

Very clean room, and the staff were friendly, courteous and attentive. Plus, it was reasonably priced.

Very clean. However the bed was horrible. We sunk in the middle. Otherwise, nice place.

We have stayed 4 or 5x in the past 2 years. I used to love staying here but I am definitely rethinking my choices. So disappointed this trip.

The room was very clean and the young gentlemen th

Seen a few roaches.....

I gave 2 stars because our room had a mildew smell and when looking for the cause we found a spot in the bathroom over the tub where the room above us leaked water and it came through. It wasn’t treated so it caused mold spores and a potent mildew smell. Also, the front desk staff were very rude and far from friendly.

Everything was clean and excellent.

Clean room

Good stay. Good breakfast.
