Very hard to find staff staff and if you did they were just going thru the motions. Housekeeping and valet did not answer phone for three days. TV did not work.

Wonderful experience! The staff was excellent! The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas! Located on Bourbon Street in the heart of the French Quarter!

My credit card was charged an extra fee after I checked out of the hotel. I called the hotel to ask about the extra charge and was never given an explanation. I will be forced to dispute the extra charge with my bank. My confirmation email received several days prior to my stay indicated a price “including all taxes and fees” which is the same total prices quoted by the employee who checked me in at the front desk. However, after my stay when I checked out; my credit card was charged an additional $29.19 with no explanation or description. I noticed this on the final invoice that was emailed to me. After checking my credit card statements; this is the SECOND time this happened ( a similar incident occurred 6 months prior). I did not notice this extra fee was charge on my credit card AFTER my checkout.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 1st stay at Royal Sonesta. Annually we bring our blended family to New Orleans to celebrate Christmas. Now that the children are grown, we opted to get away from a whole home rental for more privacy of individual hotel rooms. It was a win, win for ALL. Not only is the lobby festive but the courtyard has lemon trees dripping with fruit. It was dreamy, inside or out. I had the best charbroiled oysters in my life at Desire, on the property, amazing festive cocktails and live Jazz at the lobby bar and the kindest valet, Joe! Thank you for kicking off my holiday celebration! 🎄🎁🎄🎁

Great location, right in the heart of the French Quarter so everything was easily accessible. Hotel was clean, decorated beautifully for the holidays, and quiet at night even in the middle of of Bourbon Street. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, particulaly Ashli, who personally saw to and resolved our room accomodation requests. I also want to give a special shoutout to Mr Wade, who was very knowledgable regarding activities and restaurants to try in the city. You both made our stay a comfortable and memorable experience! We will definitely be back again!
