Nice but needs work

Great location, nice facility. Dinner at Finch was very good. Valet parking was convenient but a bit pricey. Piano music in the main lounge was too loud. A couple of flaws with the service: The promised refrigerator did not show up and there was no housekeeping on our first day. We might stay at this location again, but management needs to work on some of these "nits."

The check-in process was more than easy it was enjoyable. Clerks and customers interacting like old friends. Valet parking was a breeze, room was better than expected. Breakfast was amazing with eggs, bacon, sausage,hash browns, fresh fruit, and very good coffee! Would definitely stay here again!

Decór was funky, convenient to activities we had planned, DT Portland valet parking was $$ and the breakfast was nothing exciting for $15/pp. Willing to stay again if we had similar things planned on a future trip.

Staying at The Royal Sonesta was a unique pleasure. Every element was well thought out and creatively executed from the delightful lobby to the velvet lined elevators, beautiful murals, interesting furnishings and light fixtures into the rooms with lovely flying birds on the wallpaper, a great bed, fabulous bathroom and comfortable couch and sitting area. It was delightful to stay in a place with such personality and comfort in downtown Portland! We were able to walk everywhere easily and the staff were helpful and kind. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!

Nice suite and good location but the front desk staff was clueless. We had the $15 food and beverage credit which on the 2nd day the from desk staff told us that we can only use for breakfast but that was not the case when we were checking out and allowed to buy from the shop. Plus we lost $15 for one night for the two rooms we had as the front desk staff said is not transferable to the next day but didnt let us buy from the store. Also the breakfast was horrible thats why we didnt want to use the credit there. Upon checkout the staff did not let us use the $15 credit and said we should complain to expedia as we used your portal for booking. So please look into this.

Absolutely loved our stay at The Royal Sonesta Portland Downtown. The lobby is a work of art—playful, stylish, and full of character. Our room was spacious, comfy, and felt like a true escape from the city bustle. The staff went above and beyond, making us feel genuinely cared for. Perfect location, gorgeous vibe, and a warmth you don’t often find in hotels. You can tell it’s an older building, with serious 1930’s charm beautifully blended with modern updates. Can’t wait to come back!

The staff was friendly and very professional. The location was excellent for walking to nearby events or using the local transportation. I didn't like the thin walls; you could hear the television and voices carry over from the room next door. I was in room 922 and the guest in room 921 did not quiet down until 2:00 A.M. I'm grateful my sleep was only disturbed for one night.
