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.

Very pretty outside, completely average inside.

The lobby and public areas were great, they clearly invested heavily in them. The rooms and other amenities, less so. They were small and completely mediocre, definitely not worth the price. You can get the same out of a hotel that's less than half the price.
