I have been trying to get an invoice for a week. When I checked out, it was impossible to find a receptionist at 6am. When I finally did, he emailed a blank invoice. When I saw the mistake, I couldn’t reenter the hotel because they’d left the desk and I didn’t have a key card. No one would answer the bell. All my requests for an invoice have been ignored and this is a business expense. Please, please, send me an invoice.

The decor and the friendly staff especially the bell hops! Great happy hour. Luggage storage for early arrivals and late departures.

Only two elevators for all the floors for this size hotel but wasn’t a big ordeal.

"Spiro is THE BEST!"

10.0

My husband and I stayed at the Royal Sonesta River North for a few days. The hotel is nice, but the real gem was our Concierge, Spiro! He is fun, funny, and knowledgeable. He kept us on course with the best restaurants, must-sees, and must-dos. We’ll definitely come back because of Spiro’s impeccable service and friendliness!
