Very nice hotel. A little noisy while trying to sleep due to party goers in the French Quarter. The only thing I didn’t like was that they charge $8 for bottles of water in your room. We bought bottled water at the CVS on Canal street which is less than 10 minute walk from hotel.

We had a great stay at Royal Sonesta! Staff was extremely friendly from the moment we stepped out of our taxi and was greeted by Caleb! We had interior balcony room and heard no sound from Bourbon St! Pool area was enjoyed by my children. While we traveled with our kids, and didn’t love Bourbon St (didn’t feel unsafe just not our scene) we were able to skirt around the hotel and were able to avoid it which was easy to do! We did however LOVE the Cafe Beignet and music legends park right across the street!

The Royal Sonesta is a really nice hotel. It is right on Bourbon Street so you just need to step out the front door to all the action. It also has a nice pool that we enjoyed.
