We enjoyed our brief stay at the Royal Sonesta. Staff was friendly and always greeted us whenever we returned. Hotel location was great as well, close to the subway station and restaurants. We took off one star because we felt like the bathroom could've benefitted from either more hooks or racks (for towels, clothing, etc ) and the regular space could've used perhaps a bench or couch or sitting chair by the door to put clothes or belongings on. Overall, we wouldn't mind returning to this location, especially once they finished the renovations. Hopefully the rooms can be slightly upgraded as well with more accommodating features.

Very unhappy with the hotel, poor water pressure in bathroom, house keeping only cleaned the room once and to get that done I have to bug the front desk 3 times. And after that they did not clean it until after 8:00 pm. There was dog poop in the hall that I also needed housekeeping to clean. In the restaurant the breakfast oatmail was pure water and after asking to replace it with a simple bacon and eggs. When that came out there was hair in the food and they had to redo that item. Also the room a was not like to photos, I know there doing a remodel. But the photos are miss leading. Also check in was in a hallway, Not. Happy stay, expected a lot higher standards from this location and hotel chain
