The Royal Sonesta Boston

The Royal Sonesta Boston

10/10 Excellent
"The Royal Sonesta was a great option for our long weekend in Boston. Easy to get to from Logan airport, close to the river and easy to walk to and access all the popular spots in Boston. Price was good and the hotel itself was an ideal base to explore from. Staff were all friendly, courteous and helpful. Certainly coming back to Boston and would stay at the Royal Sonesta again when I do. "
