We loved our stay at the Royal Sonesta. It was the perfect location for a Twins game and made it very easy to explore the city and surrounding areas. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. The only issue was the first responders sirens that happened in the middle of the night. Nothing that can be done but it does wake you up.

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.
