The rooms are so big compared to other hotels I’ve been (in other cities). They are always clean, the rooms have AC, the WiFi works amazing, you have a safe (believe me, I’ve been places where there weren’t any safes). The pool is amazing, it’s safe for children since it’s not really deep. The elevators are smooth and you need your key to use them so that’s a plus for safety, and also after 10 pm (I think) you need your key to access the building! Also please reach out to Gabby! She is a complete delight and made our stay 100% better, she upgraded our room for free and gave us some complimentary wine! It’s my second time staying at Royal Sonesta River North, and I’ll be going back to this hotel!!

We had a good experience. Room was elegant and the beds comfortable. Bathroom door, a slider, was very difficult to open and close. Overall, the room was clean. However, near the windows, the baseboard molding, had a thick layer of dust. Indicating the room was not completely cleaned. A plus for us was we could use the stairs. I am not an elevator person. We had a fifth floor room. Staff was very nice.

I dont pump out super high reviews unless i have an emotion experience, well i did and this isn't a 5star retreat, but the way we are treated, we couldn't tell. The staff here are amazing. The location is absolutely ideal for downtown. We are only 5 minutes walk from everything. The floors are super clean. Elevator clean. The dining eatery on site was delicious. Only complaint would be that the pool wasn't open during summer heat. That was a bummer but we had a Jacuzzi tub room so I mean who could complain.
