Awesome property. We got a balcony room for the experience and probably won't do that ever again. Zero noise suppression, which we expected so it wasn't too big of a surprise. I'd like to stay more in the courtyard area next time. Our room had no drainage so the bathtub/sink would fill up with shower/faucet water. We talked to some people and they said it's just the old plumbing around there. So we didn't even mention it to the staff. Either way, had a great time. Got to see the 49ers take another W.

So when i first checked in i was assigned to room 2116 and when i checked the balcony it was a side balcony not a bourbon balcony that i paid for through expedia. I went to the lobby spoke to the manager who looked to be very busy understanding given the weekend it was with the 49ers in town. They gave me another room 3112 which was dirty smaller ac didnt work and it still was not a bourbon balcony. We went back downstairs to get the original room back. Looking at the rates the bourbon balcony and side balcony are different and the bourbon balcony costs more. I shouldn't have to pay more for a room that costs less. I was not advised to call expedia about this matter by the manager. I was instructed by a staff front desk employee that I needed to contact expedia directly. Please if the manager and expedia could work together to make this right for me.

I absolutely loved the Royal Sonesta. King room deluxe was a perfect size and the bed was very comfortable. I’d recommend that light sleepers boom interior court rooms and not street ones as there is some slight noticeable noise. Otherwise it’s a fantastic property and I would definitely stay again.
