With each greeting we felt as though we were staying in their penthouse suite but we were in a double queen room. Everyone was really sweet to our children and went out of their way to assist us whenever we had a question during our stay. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

I was given a room on 3rd floor right above an event room. On the 1st night there was a wedding & DJ/ music started around 7. I presumed the hotel was full so I went to front desk to ask for ear plugs. The gentleman was kind but didn’t have ear plugs & said they would send some.

I was given a room on 3rd floor right above an event room. On the 1st night there was a wedding & DJ/ music started around 7. I presumed the hotel was full so I went to front desk to ask for ear plugs. The gentleman was kind but didn’t have ear plugs & said they would send some. He also said the music would stop at 10:30p.m. It stopped just before 11 p.m. 2nd night the same thing. I asked if there was a wedding the next night too & was told yes. I explained I needed to move rooms. Metushael stepped in and gave me a lovely, quiet room several floors away from the wedding room. She was very accommodating and has a very professional, calm disposition. I suggest the hotel not book the room I had when there’s an event with music. I’m not talking muffled music; I could hear all the lyrics etc. It was not fun. Thank you Metushael for the heavenly quiet new room & for the breakfast voucher. Much appreciated Read less

My family loved our stay at Royal Sonesta it is a great location next to Museum of Science, walking distance to many great attractions (we walked to the aquarium), and across the street from a mall. The pool and gym are great and a nice escape from a city vacations. The rooms are modern and a good size and the views across the harbor are also great. At the front desk Afrim was outstanding and went the extra mile in every category, he was very knowledgable, pleasant, and easily resolved our issue in switching to a room with two double beds. The is a great place to stay and we had a great experience thanks Afrim. Read less
