I traveled with my son for his 21st birthday and this was my first day at a Royal Sonesta. I had asked in advance for the front desk to help me by hanging a 21st birthday sign as a surprise once I got to the front desk, they were so sweet to take my wrapped banner, and do their best to place it in our room. the front desk staff were amazing and professional. Our room was really generous sized and comfortable. We enjoyed the small gym and took advantage of the lobby bar to catch up on the Olympics. A special mention to Shamar, Carla & Elsadig. Being our first time staying at a Royal Sonesta, and feeling so well taken care of and impressed by the property and front desk staff, we will return.

Our stay was amazing from the moment we pulled up. We were greates by the valet and bellman, two of the most helpful and friendliest men; and not just then, the entire time, until we departed. Also, the manager was super helpful during check in due to some changes in our original accommodations. We are so thankful! Additionally, we took advantage of the free wine with purchase of entrees and so happy we did! The food was deliciousness, pricey, but delicious and super convenient. We also enjoyed going to the Spot of Tea next door for boba and sat outside in the courtyard to taken in the atmosphere and people watch. The pool was good too, just aome construction going on, but it was refreshing. Plus, the hotel provides bottle in rooms, at cold bottles in the gym and the pool, huge bonus! Definitely highly recommended!

the room is beautiful and comfortable, but wasn't what I requested (room for 3), and even though the website said other rooms were available, the front desk was unwilling to help me switch. the pool is small, but easily accessible (including a mobility support for entry). the location is wonderful, but wouldn't consider staying again.
