The concierge, Caleb, was wonderful. The young lady in the Coffee Cafe was kind. Housekeeping was very good. However the lady at the front desk during check-in was very unprofessional and cruel. What a terrible introduction to an otherwise nice hotel.

The outside was kept original but the inside was up to date; the elevators you had to use your keycard to access the floors which I thought was nice; shower water pressure could’ve been higher

We have stayed at the royal synesta several times. This time however, It just wasn't the same place. There was no room service available and there was no Information regarding hotel amenities available. Late into the Trip. Someone came into our Room and stole from us. They took our Sheets, Toiletrie, chargers, etc. We filed a complaint with the front.Security came up and took our statements, But no one has ever gotten back to us as to what happened Or how they were going to make things right.

This is a bare bones hotel, and the pictures are misleading and not representative of the reality. My credit card was compromised at Royal Sonesta and I’m still dealing with my bank through their fraud department to recoup $3K of expenditures made by someone associated with the hotel. Scary to have no credit card while on vacation. Also, we found the safe on our last day of a stay of 5, there were no extra blankets and when asking for them, were told ‘no, turn up your AC’. Make sure you list every single individual staying in the room with the front desk so if your room key card should happen to be deactivated early by the hotel, every individual can get a new card. My name was not listed, and I had to wait hours for the issue to be resolved after getting locked out of my room. Unhelpful staff, understaffed, and less than trustworthy staff.

I will preface this with saying I was not fully understanding of the bourbon st reputation even in the "off-season" the hotel was beautifully appointed inside but sadly as is the state of our current world situation homelessness was ver apparent on the exterior. The staff of the hotel was wonderfully accommodating and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable, the side st balcony was very nice. The night life of bourbon st was at all times evident, if you cant sleep with noise this is not the place for you. We never felt unsafe but as I'm older and not a partier i felt out of my element. I would highly recommend the hotel if you want to enjoy bourbon st for all its known for.
