This hotel has many pluses but a huge minus is the bistro ! This is unfortunate because there are no close restaurants. The menu is small which is Ok but they were out of most lunch/dinner items for the 2 nights we were there. And although breakfast is good the srvice is SO SLOW! Waited 1/2 hr for avocado toast and when I went to check on it ... they had forgotten. Everyone very apologetic but things never improved!
The Royal Sonesta made my birthday a special and memorable occasion. The location couldn't have been been better, located walking distance from all inner harbor attractions, and the view of the harbor from our room was magical at night. The staff was wonderful, especially the overnight front desk manager who graciously accommodated me by looking for coffee and cream for me at nearly 3am. Unfortunately I did not catch his name or I'd personally say thanks here. The room was beautiful and best of all quiet. So often I find sleeping in hotels difficult, especially city ones because of the noises inside and out but my room here was blissfully peaceful. Overall my experience at the Royal Sonesta was wonderful. I won't be forgetting my 3*th birthday anytime soon!
Check in was very fast. The room was nice. The only issue is parking. I was very disappointed. The parking garage is on 6'8" so you can't park a pickup truck. I had to park in public parking which cost $24.00 no happy about that
Very clean rooms and excellent service. Loved the view of the harbor. I would recommend eating out, food wasn't good inside the hotel
We had an overall great experience in Baltimore in large part to a great hotel location, cleanliness and top notch amenities. We had to move rooms because the lock wasn't' working on our first room, but we had to try resetting the key twice before they moved us. We also didn't know about the parking charge of $26 a day! But I guess that's city parking. We really enjoyed the spacious room and desk to work on. The bed and pillows were great and I'm the pickiest of them all.
Excellent downtown hotel within walking distance to many attractions
Room was very clean and comfortable. Pool was very nice and relaxing. Roof top area had a great view of the city.
A great place to stay the harbor view room was awesome. An easy walk to the harbor. Very clean
Clean and great staff... The view of the inner harbor was awesome... I travel in the US a lot and this hotel was as nice as the ratings said...
Second time here and we will be back! Close to everything and top notch facility.
Best Hotel I've stayed at and I'm in Baltimore at least twice a month. My view from the room was beautiful. The room itself was so nice. The bed was so comfortable and the hotel staff were so kind.
This is an extremely nice hotel. It is within blocks of the Baltimore Harbor and its many attractions. I highly recommend staying at the hotel when visiting Baltimore, MD.
Short overnight stay. Great room service, clean rooms, friendly staff. Location was in close proximity to restaurants.
You made my wedding anniversary A complete joy! From the time we parked on Saturday till we left on Tuesday my stay at your hotel was great!!!!! Your staff should be all commended for all the nice that were done for my wife and I. My stay was so nice ,when I'm in the Baltimore area I myself will not stay in another hotel. Thank guys see next year!!!!!!
We went to the Inner Harbor to enjoy the annual holiday parade of Lighted Boats. We picked Sonesta because we could get a room with a view of the harbor to watch the parade if the they weather was not great to be outside. Well we were very pleased and impressed with the hotel. We had a petite king harborview room that was spacious and comfortable, with an unobstructed view of the harbor. The bed was one of the most comfortable we've experienced in all our travels - all over the world. The decor of the hotel is lovely, the staff couldn't be friendlier and the location perfect for an inner harbor visit. The only disappointment was the cost of valet parking -- $42 per night - quite steep for Baltimore.
So comfortable and the doorman was wonderful smile!
Excellent hotel. Saltwater pool was nice. Room was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Location was perfect. Parking during my stay was pricey.
Hotel was great, but a little pricey on food and no fresh breakfast in coffee shop. Overall, visit was great, especially since we lived 2 blocks away, 23 years ago.
Rooms were newly remodeled and very nice. The location is terrific - we were in walking distance of many restaurants and activities. Will definitely stay here on our next trip to Baltimore.
Hotel very very clean, nice pool and jacuzzi good value for the money. Nice area, around all major attractions

Jessica, thank you for choosing to spend your birthday celebration with us at Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Baltimore! I appreciate that you let us know about the great service from our night manager, and I look forward to sharing your experience with our night team as a reminder of how much positive impact their service excellence has on our guests' experience. One of the best benefits of our hotel is that we are right across the street from all of the shops, restaurants, and attractions along the banks of the beautiful Inner Harbor, but we are set back far enough that our building is quiet and peaceful. Thanks again for the great feedback--we look forward to hosting you again the next time you visit Charm City!

Thank you for staying with us at Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Baltimore! I'm glad that you enjoyed a speedy check-in and your overall experience while staying as our guest. I apologize for the frustration encountered while parking an oversized vehicle--the public garage adjacent to the hotel has a standard height clearance for city center parking garages, but we do have valet space that easily could have accommodated your vehicle. Just so you're aware, self-parking at the hotel costs $24 per night, and valet parking costs $39 per night, so by parking offsite to accommodate the size of your vehicle, you did not spend any extra money. We certainly hope to host you again soon!

We're glad that you enjoyed the gorgeous views of the Inner Harbor from your recently redesigned, spacious harborview guestroom, and that the service from our friendly, helpful team impressed! I certainly apologize that your dining experience with us was not up to par--that's highly unusual for our hotel. However, as you know, there's a great array of restaurants right across the street from the hotel along the banks of the waterfront, so there are plenty of great places to choose from. We hope to host you again soon!

Deborah, we're glad that you enjoyed both the hotel as well as our great city! I apologize that your stay got off to a rocky start due to the keys not working. Guests have a choice of valet parking for $39 per night, or self parking for $24 per day (plus Baltimore City parking tax)--we disclose this information on Orbitz, but certainly we expect our Front Desk staff to discuss these options with our guests during check-in. I'm glad you enjoyed our ideal location just across the street from all the attractions, restaurants, andshops along the Inner Harbor. We hope to host you again soon!

We're glad that you returned for a second time, and had another great experience! Later this year, we will complete a renovation of our Fitness Center, which was the only aspect of the hotel not renovated during our $10 million renovation that we completed in April 2015. We look forward to having you back for more fun just across the street from the Inner Harbor!
I apologize for the slow service in Explorer's. We've just brought aboard a new Executive Chef who started with us after Easter, and our restaurant will be soon undergoing an extensive renovation, which will be followed by the launch of a new concept. The hotel is actually surrounded by dozens of restaurants within easy walking distance, including many across the street at the Inner Harbor, and lots of locals' favorites within 3 blocks in historic Federal Hill. We hope you'll plan to return and give us another chance!
