Started shaky in the beginning when we arrived early morning because we were traveling from Hawaii. The first front desk guy we encountered was not knowledgeable about checking in procedures. Long story short, only my brother was able to check in. So we basically waited until 4pm to check in. At that time, the new front desk crew was there Dasia, Paris, & Jasmine. Dang! They were awesome! They made sure the experience we had earlier, no one else would experience. My new check in experience was wonderful, I wasn’t upset anymore. They were great listeners, empathetic, and absolutely kind! I would stay there again in a heartbeat! With employees like that… they care about the customer and their hotel reputation. They changed my terrible experience into a great one. Thank you guys, you are truly wonderful people!

My experience was incredible, starting with Michele, who was working the front desk. She was pleasant and friendly. I got in town early and she let me check in early. The entire staff was also welcoming and friendly. My room was comfy, clean and the bed was amazing. I will stay here again. Thanks to Michele and entire staff

We stayed overnight for a nearby wedding. I read a few recent negative reviews so I was concerned that this hotel might not be so good. After calling the front desk and speaking with Michelle she assured us that we could have an early check in. We arrived one hour early to a very clean room. The valet service was perfect. Staff were friends and courteous. I would definitely stay there again. Overall excellent experience.

Wanted to enjoy the weekend by the harbor for my birthday but couldn’t Hot tub feels like a bath you’ve been sitting in for a hour. No heat, no relaxation whatsoever. Phone in room didn’t work so had to keep going to the desk to ask basic questions.

*Review of Royal Sonesta Harbor Court * Dont believe the hype I'll be honest the reviews seemed great and the pictures amazing from the web page the picture that google shows isnt the actual front. Youre across the street from the harbor. No water that close and It also claims to be a 4 star hotel. . I will be leaving a review with yelp as well. However this was our experience My partner is Retired military. Asked for the id card no problem. Didn't thank him for his service. Check in Sept 11. 2025 4 pm Checked out Sept 12,2025 6:45 am We were charged twice the first charge is the $299.75 After we checked out we were told I have to use a actual credit card as the debit /credit card was just for holding the room. The second charge i received was the 251.75 ( two different charges entirely ) when I called to request they give my money back on the 299.99 one they told me that i had to take it up with finance dept on Tuesday as they only showed the one charge of 251.75 not the second one even with the confirmation number is gave them. With a military discount Taxes, fees, etc That was going through the company. Not a third party booking agent. I don't recommend this hotel for the following reasons First we paid for Valet parking. Which was $45.00 It was- "LEFT UNLOCKED!".Apparently all night. - after we checked out and wanted the key back . It was where is your key tag. * it was in his hand* he wouldnt give the key to me until i sent my partner for it. * It's not updated interior wise. Carpet is the 70s-80s era look. The amenities arent worth the price. The installation isn't quality cause we could hear the neighbors having quality time. The bed squeaks getting out of it. We had the connecting room bang on the wall and told stop racket from the bed noises. The water pressure is lacking regardless if its the tub or shower. Theres no hot water. Just lukewarm even when you only have the hot water on. I took a bath at 430pm after a 4 pm check in Lukewarm water. Tub did drain. *-Picture 2 still full tub The tub didnt drain after my attempted hot water soak. That was at 7pm ish It's now 1032 pm and the tub isn't drained yet *-Update it did drain close to 1am I originally booked it because it was harbor facing. My outside view is picture is the temu looking Huge mirrored beehive complete with fake bee's Gave disco ball vibes- The valet is a separate charge as is the garage *The garage attached to the hotel isn't theirs its an *independent contractor*:You pay regardless for parking. The height limit is 6 foot 8 in the garage. the truck isn't taller then that. We parked in 2 different parking garages with that height without issue *When asked the garage where we would have to park.after he yelled at us to back up . All the way back as we were too big to park in the garage. ( Nissan Titan ProX4 ) not big. He said around back. ( wrong answer) So we had to pay the valet to park the truck in front. *The fridge isn't cold. I put 2 bottles of water 1 coke and a small bottle of milk (pint) in the fridge at 5 pm at 8pm they were cool not cold. Getting them from the 711 was colder then the fridge Picture There was a bug in the bottom of the fridge. The ice build up suggests it hasn't been defrosted in a minute. The towel bar is bent. It was bent to start with. They gave bottles of water to you. With a $6.00 each tag Add in there is no clear sign showing where ice is. All im never doing it nor recommending it.
