The front desk staff were absolutely rude. The manager was not helpful either. We asked for housekeeping twice over our 5 day stay and it was cancelled and after asking when we can get it. They said they could bring me sheets to change the bedding myself. This is supposed to be a four star hotel but the service is worse than a motel. We complained and this site was not helpful at all. I’d I could give it zero stars I would.

I absolutely loved my The Royal Sonesta Minneapolis downtown. The front desk clerk was extremely helpful and friendly, my room was beyond amazing. Water pressure in the shower was great and I saw no signs of mold. The carpet was well vacuumed, no crumbs. I woke up in the middle of the night, super thirsty and remembered there were complementary water bottles in my room. Plus the hotel was extremely aesthetically pleasing. I didn’t eat there but the restaurant smelled amazing. I’ll be staying here every time i come back to Minneapolis. Beyond happy with my stay

Stayed for 2 nights, the hotel is beautiful and most of the staff very helpful and friendly. Their restroom off the lobby is a little dated and not as clean as everything else. There are great views from the room windows. Room was comfortable with ample pillows and space. On site restaurant was good for breakfast did not have a chance to try other mealtimes. Loved the vibe as well, and pet friendly is always a plus!

The hotel was very nice and conveniently located. Staff at front desk was very friendly and helpful. However I was disappointed that we never received house keeping services and we were there 4 nights. I was told we had to request it so I did. Nobody ever came to replace towels, empty garbage, replenish toilet paper etc. Very disappointing that this was not addressed and handled as requested.

We were denied towels. Called 5 times to the front desk for towels. Stopped by the front desk twice, and each time they said they would send towels. We didn’t get the towels until MIDNIGHT at 12:15am when someone finally knocked on the door.

Zak is great.

Zak is great. I’ve stayed here at least 5x but never felt that so welcomed and appreciated like he did. 10/10 would recommend Zak! And the hotel has easy enough parking. Could use a rooftop hottub for sure.

Not just bad but real bad

Was forced to change rooms to accommodate an airline pilot. Housekeeping never showed and never answered the phone. The restaurant bar staff was overtly rude. That are if town is dirty load of restaurants are closed. Don’t ever stay here

The AC in our room would not cool the room lower than 72°, elementary breakfast, no pool, had to ask for your room to be cleaned, and lots of homeless people across the street so when you walk out of the hotel, your bombarded with the smell of marijuana

Marriott across the street

The entire hotel on the even sides of the halls face a wall (windows but all facing a wall. The bar/restaurant staff was rude. Out of the blue hotel staff pressured me to change rooms for the sake of an airline pilot who wanted my room. Downtown Minneapolis area is sad and unsafe and dirty.

Customer Service for the Win!

Check in was lovely - Zac helped us and was very efficient, pleasant and you could tell knew what he was doing! First looks at the room were wonderful! We got a King Suite but unfortunately our AC wasn’t quite working. We made a call to the front desk who sent up maintenance (less than 10 minutes) and he was able to look and determine he couldn’t fix it while we were in it so they’d need to move us. Not ideal but the front desk manager Mohammed got us all taken care of! He was able to get us in the different king room - we already used the shower in the suite so we only really cared about the King bed, and we upgraded to a street view which was nice and they took care of our breakfast, parking and cocktails for our evening at their onsite restaurant - which is amazing by the way! 10/10! Regardless of the AC issue we would be happy to stay there again! Everyone was friendly, the rooms were clean and restaurant for dinner and breakfast were amazing! It was a wonderful weekend celebrating our Anniversary so thank you!
