8/10 Good
"Location is great for downtown. Valet parking is pricey - $80/night. Room was spacious, clean and the bathroom was plenty big. However, I returned one night around 1 a.m. and was met with "I need to see your I.D....What room are you in?" I found this a bit off-putting, as I have never had to do this at any other property around the world in far more prestigious hotels. It left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth on Royal Sonesta...."
