Phenomenal staff, great atmosphere, great location, and a very cozy lounge area with fire place. Everyone will go above and beyond to help you find the best places to visit around the area as well.
This hotel was amazing! I will stay here any time I got to Portland! It was in such a walkable location, everywhere you need to go you can easily get to! Such a beautiful, quirky, hotel with wonderful staff! Perfect hotel experience!
Breakfast was good and convenient. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable. We did not park in the valet area but walked a few blocks down the street to a public lot. We had snacks & drinks in the bar late one night and they were also very good.

The rooms are very spacious and well furnished excellent stay for the price
Absolutely clean room with no issues at all! Absolutely pleased with the staff and the valet service. Enjoyed the warm inviting feeling when you arrive and every time you walk through the doors. Felt safe and comfortable. Unfortunately we did not get to enjoy the breakfast but we heard from others staying there that it was definitely worth trying. We definitely will be staying there again. See yall soon!
Wonderful stay. So clean, very friendly, unique decor. We reserved a parking spot in a garage nearly right next door for $6 overnight. Had to leave before breakfast, but it smelled great.
Very pretty and spacious corner hotel room and friendly staff. Had a nightcap at the restaurant bar, which was pretty empty. The breakfast that is served there is a buffet. We didn’t find it t appealing so didn’t eat there.
We had some issues navigating the parking garage in our rental mini van, valet staff was super in guiding us around the columns. Would stay again.
I love this hotel! I love the location and most of all, I love the staff, everyone is kind, helpful and professional. I recommend the Royal Sonesta to everyone I know traveling to Portland. See you soon and thank you all
Everything was really good, a couple of details that was taken care of immediately, nice friendly staff, great service, looking forward to stay next time I go to Portland
Rooms were big and very clean. Staff was very friendly. Love the decor as it wasn't a typical hotel room vibe. Will definitely stay again if in the area!
