Centrally located to many attractions. Overall, friendly and helpful staff. Check your billing carefully. The front desk mistakenly placed a hold or charge on my credit for $1900.00, instead of $1500.00 for my stay.

Kassie at Royal Sonesta went out of her way. I had booked our 6th anniversary there and had forgotten to mention it when I booked the trip. I mentioned it to Kassie at the time of check in and she upgraded us to a spectacularly beautiful suite. Then we went went out Friday evening, when we returned to our hotel, she had champagne, pastries and a lovely card awaiting us. We were blown away. We have stayed at the Royal Sonesta River downtown before and we will always continue to stay there because of people like Kassie. Thank you Kassie and Royal Sonesta for making our trip special.

Would not stay again. House keeping started knocking on doors at 8:30 and again at 9:15 on our checkout day. When we got into our room it smelled over the top of cleaning products. When I walked across the carpet my socks got completely soaked as it was wet across the carpet
