We loved our stay at this establishment. The hotel was clean and well kept, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable and they even have animal mascots for the different hotel sites and so it was fun to see that our hotel was the timber wolf. I would happily stay again the next time I am in the area.

My first stay at the Royal Sonesta was everything I hoped for! The staff was very courteous & professional, accommodating my every need. The hotel was very well kept and the restaurant located inside of the hotel was very convenient. My suite was nothing short of incredible, with tremendous space and amenities. I also like how the hotel is within walking distance to the arena, the baseball stadium, and tons of restaurants. I look forward to my next visit to Minneapolis and my stay at the Royal Sonesta Hotel.
