The hotel was clean. The view was great hotel staff was friendly. Parking is a bit pricey.

I liked how when we checked in we were offered a lower level, but the front desk asked us if we want to hire and promoted us to the top floor with the view of the harbor. We came on 4 July, so of course, as you would expect a lot of people were there for the view. The staff was very friendly The view was very nice. The room was good. Everything was pretty clean. I enjoyed the pool area. The hot tub was also feeling great. I love how they offer our towels at the pool so you don’t have to bring your own. They have a outdoor basketball court tennis court indoor gym. This is a really nice hotel. Staff are really friendly.

The only thing I didn’t like was how one specific employee was rude. He came into the pool area telling everyone to get out. The pool is closed when it indeed did not close for another five minutes. He was rushing everyone to get out the pool and had such a negative nasty attitude. The other thing I don’t like is how you have to pay for parking and it’s also very challenging to find parking in the garage. For a weekend day I ended up paying over $50 for parking which is a bit pricey on top of paying for the hotel. I think they should give you a parking voucher we staying at the hotel for a certain amount of days.

Great location, comfortable, and conveient hotel.

The hotel is in a great location to Camden Yards and MT Stadium. Also, walking to the inner harbor was perfect! The staff upon leaving was great! The greeter at the door was very friendly! Being able to see fireworks from the hotel 7th floor balcony was cool, but they need to trim the bushes a little more :) haha

When we first arrived, the person I worked with was not friendly or helpful. I asked if Orioles park was in walking distance and asked how we would get there and she said "can you elaborate?" Then I said which direction do we walk and how long, she did not know. I feel like if you work at a hotel at the front desk near the park you should know this answer. She also did not tell me I could put parking on my room for a discount and then at check out was too late. I also did not know the bar/restaurant was closed so that was a bummer. It was ok tho! Add some lights on the balcony its pretty at night but you can't see anything.

Rooms were very nice but the hotel was eerily quiet. Will probably stay somewhere a little more lively next time and one

The property was clean. Nice to have an attached garage. Room was very nice. Bed was comfortable.

The restaurant/lounge was closed. Was not aware of this until we checked in. Could not find a vending machine or little convenience store within the hotel to get a cold bottle of water. No breakfast/ or at least none that I saw….I think it was advertised, maybe because the restaurant was closed? Went down to ask staff about water and there was not anyone at the desk.

If the A/C had not been an issue I would rate the stay excellent.

Location was perfect right at the inner harbor. Breakfast pastries were only available for purchase in the hotel cafe.

The air conditioning in our room never cooled the room off. It was hot the entire time. Very disappointing

Sonesta hotel was really nice, location is great, near everything, the room was clean the coffee was great, i will definitely stay here again.

the shower is open to the rest of the bathroom so water gets everywhere on the floor, not safe, the hotel was a bit pricey as they don't offer complementary breakfast.

Very good

The location is great, the harbor, a lot of restaurants and interesting places around. The view of the harbor at night was exceptional.

No normal breakfast at all. There was a cafe at the ground floor but food there was very unhealthy, no natural yogurts, no salads. Some sandwiches and pastries, that’s all.

First Royal Sonesta stay - will be seeking out your other properties, but not dining onsite.

The room was extremely comfortable. Shower exceeded most hotels in this price range. The staff could not have been more accomodating and friendly, including loaning me an umbrella for a sudden thunderstorm.

The onsite "gastropub" was a bit of a disappointment. The room was too big (and empty) for the description. Service was incredibly slow, probably because the bartender was forced to handle kitchen duties as well? Food was pretty good, but not much of a dining experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

The hotel was in a great location. Close to so many restaurants and local attractions. The hotel was clean and staff was friendly. I loved how spacious the room was and the view of the Harbor was nice. Hot tub was relaxing and pool was a perfect temperature. Lovely hotel overall.

I felt like in the morning I could hear every sound and every voice carrying loudly. Walls seem a bit thin but the night before it was perfect.

The hotel is great. The view looking at the harbor was beautiful, especially at night. We ate breakfast at the restaurant on sight, which was delicious.

The walk from the parking lot to the hotel fron5 desk was a little strenuous for myself because of walking disability.

A great space for colleagues to share during a conference at the convention center.

The room was spacious and had a separate space near the bathroom that allowed for colleagues sharing a room to have privacy when changing and not wake each other when coming and going at different times.

The hot tub in the pool area was in a lovely setting, but by the end of the night, the water level was low, below the jets, and the temperature was lukewarm to an extent that made me concerned that it might not be hygienic. Hot tubs should not be lukewarm. But, the pool was nice.

It was an overnight stay and good.

The location is absolutely great! The hotel itself a bit older also from the style, but all was very clean and comfy! Pool upstairs was nice for kids, but not a nice atmosphere up there to relax. Chairs had old pillows on and the overall style seemed old. Also the images in the corridors were old and bleached as if from the 70s silk hanging. All in all a good experiences but with an older look.

The room was spacious and the bathroom felt like a "little luxury". The bed was very comfortable. The bartender was wonderful!

The hot tub was out of commission, which was part of the reason we chose the hotel.

Nice hotel. However, more could be done to assure guests won't be awoken due to partiers.

The staff at check-in were great, and the room was really nice. The parking situation was convenient and well proportioned.

The noise at night was crazy. It was like there was a sorority party going on. The entire floor smelled like weed and there were instances of VERY intoxicated women crawling on the hallway floor.

Perfect stay in a perfect location. Easy walk to where we needed to go.

Location was great and the rooms for spacious and very clean.

We stayed at the Harbor Court several times many years ago for New Years Eve and we always enjoyed the bar / lounge that was in a library setting. We missed having that setting to sit and have a cocktail.

Nice hotel. Worth the spend.

Excellent staff who put customer service first! Had an issue caused by my travel app that they took care of. Thanks! Room & bath were spacious and clean. Bed was comfy. Enjoyed the harbor view from my upgraded room. Had minor issues with the coffee maker & lamp but in a classy gesture hotel issued a hospitality credit. Would come again!

On premise restaurant only serves dinner. Would have like to be able to get a hot breakfast or lunch.

Central Hotel in the inner harbour

The room was wide and the bad was very comfortable. The bathroom was OK too. The position od the hotel is very convenient to visit the old harbour.

I was given a room with a broken heating system (in December!) and it took my a couple of days to convince the staff to isell someone to fix it (which didn't happen) and finally I obtained to switch to another room (which was perfectly OK with a functioning heating). So, at the end everything was fine, but the first night and day I was literally freezing!

Relaxing and comfortable

The location is perfect for those looking to be at the harbor. We stayed in a harbor view room and besides the fact that the view was partially obstructed by the top of the roof it was beautiful! The hot tub, pool and saunas in the locker rooms were AMAZING! They also have free yoga during the weekdays which was very nice! I wish they offered spa treatments.

They need to upgrade TVs to smart TVs, clean the baseboards in the bathrooms, repair structural damage in the ceilings of the pool area, and offer a reduced rate for parking. Parking was pretty expensive. For the harbor view rooms they should note the view may be obstructed by the roof and indicate which rooms have the full view of the harbor with no obstructions.
