BED BUGS ROOM 726!!!! I normally don’t write reviews but I feel like I need to advise others of my experience at The Royal Sonesta. On my departing day I notice over 25 red bumps (painful and itchy) over my body. Over the next two days, bumps are still appearing. It was confirmed that they were the result of BED BUGS. I am very livid and disgusted bc I’ve never experienced this traveling before. There is nothing good I can say about this hotel at this point!!! They need to treat the BED BUGS bc I didn’t agree/sign any paperwork to get bit up by BED BUGS!!!

The only issue we had is they charged us $125 to check at noon. Their normal time is 4 o’clock. I thought that was crazy but would only allow us to have a late check out at 1130.. Other than that it was good. Staff was very nice and room was clean.
