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.

The hotel itself is a bit old, but the location is good, but there are many better hotels

Great location and nice outdoor balcony attached to the bar. Staff is very friendly. We were offered room service but never received it. Requested coffee for the room and it turned out to be decaf, fortunately there is coffee in the lobby.

Hallway noise easily entered room throughout the night. Could use better soundproofing to hall. Our room was unfortunately at eye level with condensers in courtyard. Not much can be done about that aside from infrastructure changes w hotel.
