Liked: Cleanliness
My recent stay at the Royal Sonesta in Minnesota a few days ago was unfortunately quite underwhelming for the price paid. While the hotel's location was certainly convenient for my purposes, the overall experience did not justify the full value. I found the amenities to be surprisingly lacking, especially considering the Sonesta brand and the nightly rate. For example, there was no in-room coffee service, no complimentary breakfast, and checking in took a long time. This significantly detracted from the comfort and convenience I anticipate from a hotel of this caliber. Furthermore, the service was consistently poor. I encountered long waits at the front desk. Such issues made simple tasks frustrating and did not reflect the level of hospitality I would expect. While the location was a definite positive, the combination of absent/substandard amenities and poor service made it clear that the property did not live up to the premium charged. I am writing in the hope that you will review my reservation and consider a partial refund or reduced rate to reflect the actual value of my stay. I can provide further details if needed

Maybe they keep the not so great rooms for Expedia customers? It looked NOTHING like any of the reviews I read and I read a lot. The view?…a wall. No natural light. Dark all day. Dirty. Like the room hadn’t been used in a while. Bar / restaurant was fine. No room service. Location was central. Would not stay again.
View to the right from my room.
Dirty shelf. Bedside table.
Someone’s blackhead remover by the sink 🤮 Not mine.
Dirty bedside table surface behind the clock.

Hotel was very clean. It was extremely close to the baseball park where we were going and there were a lot of options around us so we paid for parking but could walk around easily. Parking was easy with garage attached to the hotel. Only negative was when I checked in and asked for my $15 promo money as a silver member the check in person was a little rude about it. Not a big deal just the only negative

Property is walkable to Ballpark for Baseball. Was very loud outside with sirens and traffic… Room next door last evening had a room party / nightclub atmosphere going at 1230am. Called Front Desk to address. Took well over 30 mins for it to be shut down. Disruptive evening
