“The Royal Sonesta's prime draw is its connection to Minneapolis' Skyway system, granting easy access to downtown even when the weather turns. I appreciate the commitment to local Midwestern cuisine at Wood + Paddle Eatery, a refreshing change from typical hotel fare. While some past guests have reported service inconsistencies, the hotel's accessible features are a definite plus for many travelers.”
