My entire stay was first class. The location is central and close to major venues in downtown. The lobby and common spaces were very clean. The gym and pool were amazing, clean, and top tier. My room was spacious, clean, and quiet. I would definitely return to the Stephen F Austin Royal Sonesta.

I can not tell you how amazing the service was. I booked this place for my wedding night and they gave me an upgrade.

Very nice hotel, great location. Large rooms and good service. All details in room were great. Only downside was expensive parking and no AC in the elevator, not much in halls either. AC fine in room.

The property is a classic and the staff are “top-notch”. Although a little pricey, when attending a performance at the Paramount, it’s hard to beat. We will be back.
