No pool!

2nd time staying here and the hotel is good but I didn’t realize it didn’t have a pool when booking. The previous time we stayed was December so I didn’t check for one.

The staff was exceptional, the breakfast was great, the location for downtown was great, but the fact that you have to pay to park $47 a night and the city noise was just ridiculous. None of this stuff was mentioned the hotel was old but kept well over the years. They should take the carpet out it's disgusting but it is hotel carpet and it would be costly. There is no pool in this place which the pictures are rather misleading this place for the price was fair. I would like to emphasize that the superior staff made up for its shortcomings. For the price I would stay here again but I highly recommend that Expedia update their pictures because people aren't as forgiving as I am.

We had a terrible experience at the Royal Sonesta New Orleans Downtown. Despite having confirmed Expedia reservations, our rooms were oversold when we arrived. The operations manager blamed Expedia instead of taking responsibility, even though Expedia confirmed the hotel had accepted the reservations. Check-in was unprofessional—the operations manager complained loudly about being tired of checking people in, took calls, walked off for breaks, and had a full conversation with a coworker while we waited. He even yelled at my husband when the hotel’s doors malfunctioned, wrongly accusing him of causing the issue and publicly embarrassed us in front of the lobby. We had service animals and offered documentation, which he declined, assuring us there would be no pet fees. After checkout, we were charged $175.13 and $87.56 in pet fees anyway. Follow-up calls to the hotel led to more blame-shifting, rude behavior, and inconsistent explanations. My bank and Sonesta Corporate are now involved in disputing the charges. Extremely disappointing stay. Poor service, zero accountability, and unauthorized charges.

Not so good

The place looks nice at first but when you pay attention you can see it’s dirty, the sofa in the room had what we think where blood stains and dirt in the sides, the carpet was very dirty, in the bed and towels you could find hairs. Breakfast was really good, better than what you find in most hotels.
