Had a wonderful stay at the Royal Sonesta in New Orleans. The hotel was decorated for Papa Noel and Christmas and was beautiful. The staff was always helpful and pleasant. Our 5th floor room was clean with a refrigerator and nice linens. This hotel is perfectly situated in the French Quarter on Bourbon Street for whatever activities you want to do.
Great location for sightseeing in New Orleans or just staying put in the French Quarter. Great music in the lobby jazz club. If you are brave enough, you can even get a room with a balcony facing Bourbon Street. (The noise is not that bad, if you have earplugs!) Four stars instead of five because the hotel is in need of an overhaul of everything from the tech to the carpeting.
The Hotel was great, yet they never forwarned us or even warned us upon arrival of the violent and dangerous event that was to take place that weekend. On Bourbon street there was a mass of over 100, 000 thugs that gather that weekend every year! It was a nightmare. All clubs and bars of any substance were closed and the streets were guarded by police officers with AR15's, yet we never got the slightest of warning. We spent the entire weekend, as best we could, in our room in search of safety. I believe it was up to them to warn us at the time of booking and at the very least upon arrival. NOLA needs to clean up these events and make it a great place for tourist all year long and at best let them know the best and worst times to visit. We will never revisit as guest a the Sonesta due to the fact that they were not interested in our safety. Next time we will be further from Bourbon St and closer to the real culture of this beautiful city.
Nice hotel, great location, lots of restaurant choices, nice jazz bar. But it's quite expensive for what it is. However, if you wanna be on bourbon street, it s the place to be. Don't expect Ritz Carlton kinda luxury. However, I would not say that the personnel is unfriendly. They are just extremely busy.
A friend and I stayed here the weekend before Halloween. The construction is a pain but certainly no fault of the hotel. The hotel was great and staff was wonderful. Housekeeping did a great job (make sure to tip them, they deserve it). Food was good. Loved the jazz club. Wonderful music and bartenders were great. We definitely plan on staying there again if ever in New Orleans again!
