Pros

Original artwork by respected contemporary artists throughout the property

Seasonal sundeck for guest relaxation
Cons

“The Royal Sonesta Boston is a somewhat mixed experience. I appreciate its location near Boston and Cambridge attractions, plus it has covered parking. However, some rooms need updating, which impacts the overall impression, and that indoor pool needs a serious cleaning.”
