I enjoyed the cozy balcony with a stunning city view. The clean and spacious room made our stay feel special like Carlos & Fernanda's anniversary trip.

perfect base for exploring parks and city landmarks

I loved how easy it was to walk to amazing spots like Nicollet Mall and the Sculpture Garden, making my city strolls truly enjoyable while the staff made my stay feel even more welcoming with their top-notch service and eagerness to assist our group.

Valet parking made things easy. The restaurant had a great happy hour. Our room needed better cleaning. Reception staff were friendly but slow at check-in.

My kids wished for a bit more accessibility to housekeeping services to keep our room tidy. It would be great if there were daily cleaning, especially when traveling with a larger family like ours.

recommend for a weekend break

Friendly staff, comfortable room, with complimentary bottled water and delightful soaps that made our stay enjoyable. we loved the easy access to nearby brunch spots and found reasonable underground parking for our trip to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International airport.

Liked everything.

The hotel features a clean and modern room with a comfortable bed, perfect for a relaxing stay. Its central location made it easy to explore the city. However, the check-in process was slow, and some staff could have been more welcoming. It would also be beneficial to improve the bathroom lighting for morning routines.

This place suits me perfectly with its free wi-fi, comfortable bar/lounge area, and fitness centre. I appreciate the friendly staff. they even helped me find my lost barrette on my first stay! Highly recommend staying here.

The central location is a major plus, with easy access to attractions and helpful staff who provided friendly service. The restaurant offers fantastic food, enhancing the overall experience. However, early check-in was overpriced at $40, and public transportation options could have been clearer, especially for those unfamiliar with the area. While the bar was nice, it wasn't particularly memorable.

Great downtown location with friendly staff

My stay in this well-located hotel was enjoyable, with a fabulous team that made me feel welcomed. The room was comfortable, with lovely amenities including complimentary bottled water and delightful soaps. I particularly appreciated the easy access to nearby restaurants and attractions. However, the parking garage was somewhat tight and challenging to navigate.

We loved checking out the free concerts at Nicollet Island Park and Lake Harriet Bandshell. Plus, hitting up the Mall of America was amazing, especially with the indoor amusement park. Just a heads up, parking can be tricky, and the check-in might take some time.

We were disappointed by the lack of toiletries when we arrived. They said they ran out of soap, which was inconvenient.

This place was an excellent fit for short visits in Minneapolis with value for price. I appreciated that the hotel had self-parking, which is a plus for those like me who prefer it over valet service. A tip for others, check for any breakfast hours to avoid surprises.

Couples looking for a solid spot

The staff were super friendly and helpful during our stay, they really made us feel welcomed. It was also nice that we could have breakfast in our room while enjoying a view that kept the sunlight out, not picturesque but kinda chill.

The Royal Sonesta boasts elegant decor that exudes warmth, making each common area feel like an inviting family gathering spot, perfect for us seniors. The spacious layout also allows easy navigation for anyone with mobility issues.

More accessible seating in common areas would be helpful.

If you’re after a culinary escape, the spare ribs at FireLake Grill are legendary! Pair that with an amazing location—so close to Fhima's and Starbucks, you can almost smell the coffee from your room. Loved that our room was cozy and clean too!

But let’s keep it real, the service was hit-or-miss. No body wash or proper mini bar, and housekeeping was sparse—only every three days? Not cool! Breakfast was a flop compared to what they charge, and the night staff could be friendlier. Just sayin’!
