Loved it really nice, staff was nice and welcoming , the only issue was the plumbing, the toilet flushed very slowly and we had to hold the handle down, and housekeeping never came to clean, and very slow with receiving towels, and ice machine on 16th floor didn’t work we have to go to anther floor or staff brought a bucket of ice to us, Overall very nice hotel and I would stay again.

Needs deep cleaning

The surfaces were cleaned well, but the carpet in the room was disgusting and looked like it has never been cleaned. You can clearly see the dirt track through the high traffic areas of the room. Service was great

Fees can get pricey here however , property is very nice & well kept, very convenient !!!! My only issue was my duvet insert was absolutely gross. The bed was made placing the insert in between two bed sheets and tucking them very tight. Coming from big brand hotels myself, very disappointing. However I would still give them a try and stay again! It was beautiful

I always stay here because I feel safe staying here by myself. You have to have a room key card to use the elevators so you know that there are not random people in the hotel. Self parking is very easy and reasonable.

No more Royal Sonesta for me!

When I arrived, I was tired and hungry. The restaurant is closed in the afternoon, but at check-in they said I could order room service. I tried calling 4 times over 20 minutes, and no one ever answered the phone. So I decided to go out and get something to eat. I went downstairs to get my car from valet. The car came quickly, but I couldn’t drive straight out because there were parked cars in front of me and a cone blocking the center. To exit, the valet guy said I had to back up to an area where I could turn left into another driveway. I did that, but before I got there, another car pulled up, parked, and the man left his car. It made it very difficult to get out. I eventually got out to the 610 feeder road. I was so irritated that when I was at the restaurant eating, I canceled my reservation at this hotel for next week, and booked another hotel. 15 years ago, I used to enjoy staying at this Royal Sonesta, but I won’t be staying here again.
