    Best Experience

    We came down here for Super Bowl weekend, and Kaleb the doorman was FANTASTIC. He was able to secure transportation at the drop of a hat, even during the busiest of times. And such a genuinely friendly guy. Will visit again for sure, thank you again Kaleb!

    Weekend trip

    This hotel was clean and all the staff was super nice. It's right in the middle of the action, we had a balcony room which was fun but also once you shut those doors and put the drapes in place you can sleep well. The spot across the street is a close easy place to grab breakfast and we really enjoyed Felix for lunch just a block down. Erin Rose is around the corner for their famous frozen coffee and Saddle is around the other corner for a ride in the bar on the 2nd floor.

    Would recommend!

    Stay at the Royal Sonesta was pretty good! The doorman Caleb was an absolute joy to be welcomed. He made the initial experience so special and the departure experience even better we can’t wait to come back knowing that we will be welcomed by Caleb! The front desk staff was OK! housekeeping was not so great, but I feel like that’s pretty normal in my experience with hotels. Housekeeping staff have difficult jobs and retention is high. Sucks that me as the customer always feels that part the most. Anyway overall good stay, Would recommend! Loved that Desire the restaurant is right downstairs and yummy! Also I was impressed that even though the hotel is on bourbon, the rooms don’t hear a thing!

    An excellent stay

    Excellent location and nice rooms! The indoor balcony room was quiet and comfortable. A special shout out to Caleb the doorman. He was an angelic bean with the most vibrant personality! From the moment we arrived till the moment we left, he was constantly making us smile. We will absolutely be back!

    Great stay at my home in New Orleans

    Stayed through the blizzard, everyone worked so hard to make it a pleasure to be there. Thanks so much. Can't wait to come back to New Orleans and book a vacation at the Royal Sonesta,it is truly the one and only place that really makes you feel home away from home.
