Last trip to the sonesta New Orleans
Apparently Sonesta does not put room maintenance high on their agenda. From inoperative balcony lock, fridge light stuck on, shower temperature control broken, toilet paper holder on the floor, bathroom door could not be closed and more. Very disappointing for the money spent.

Best hotel room I’ve stayed in…
My stay was great … we were treated extremely well .. Mirabel our concierge person upgraded us to the honeymoon suite with the 4 person jacuzzi in room and interior balcony access … due to a minor issue in our booked suite … Derrick the manager also assisted in making sure we were taken care of … I highly recommend The Royal Sonesta…

Father/son 30th birthday trip to NOLA!
Great spot for a father/son weekend in NOLA. I was a little concerned about street noise at night but our interior balcony room was as quiet as can be. The Jazz club and Restaurant on site were both fantastic as well!
