First room was musty and smelled bad also the ac didn’t work. And the bathroom was like a closet when I would open the door it would hit the toilet and not open all the way it was ridiculous. I requested a room change so they moved me to the 6 floor which was better but they gave me two beds although I only needed one which I thought was weird. This room was right by construction so I had been listening to loud drilling and banging since 7am. This was very irritating and I only slept for 4 hours so I asked to be moved again which was frustrating. I paid $1300 which wasn’t even made clear prior to arrival online it said $790 and I was already upset about that so having 2 horrible room experiences after paying all that wasn’t worth it and I had enough. The front desk lady was rude when I told her about the construction when I told her I need to go to another floor if the 6th floor has construction and she said “well I haven’t gotten any complaints from other guests about construction” as if I’m lying about it, I found her response to be weird and unnecessary. After going back and forth she finally said I can get moved and it would take an hour if I want to wait and move my stuff or I can leave and people would move it for me. Immediately I said no I’ll wait because I don’t want people packing up and moving my stuff so she said and I’ll need a refund asap if I can’t get an appropriate room so I can go elsewhere. Got another nice room but she was so rude and weird never staying

Lobby and reception undergoing major refurbishment which we were not notified about either at the time of booking or subsequently. There was a makeshift reception and you had to enter the building through a side entrance which was quite tight and easily filled up during peak check in and check out times. Our booking included $15\room meal credit per day but this wasnt explained to us in any great detail and front desk staff were quite abrupt and seemed stressed due to the refurbishments and temporary set up. We didnt bother using the meal credit as the restaurant menu was extremely limited and very expensive as well as the room itself being quite dark and dingy and not appealing at all. Due to repairs we had no water from 1am to 7am on our first morning in the hotel and then there was no hot water as a result with several complaints to reception. We were told they were working on it and the water got hotter intermittently throughout the day which was very frustrating. The rooms themselves were large with comfortable beds and clean but without basic amenities such as running hot water it really ruined our stay. Location is decent and about a 10-15 min walk to the main tourist attractions and lots of coffee shops, cafes and restaurants nearby. We didnt use the valet parking as again this is not included in your room rate and is expensive so we used a nearby parking garage.

We were unaware of the renovations being carried out prior to arrival either from the hotel or booking platform. It would have been better if this information had been sent prior to arrival - having experienced the ambience of public areas in other royal sonesta hotels this is something we were looking forward to enjoying again.
