    Great customer care

    The restaurant staff are incredible. The customer service that Alma provided was extraordinary. She called me by name, and made breakfast the best experience ever. Alma's smile and care was a great start to my day. The blueberry pancakes were amazing.

    Outstanding customer service!

    Hello! I wanted to let you know that Francisco Perez at the Royal Sonesta in the Galleria is outstanding! We had stayed at another nearby hotel 6 months ago. This stay at the Royal Sonesta was fantastic! Francisco did a wonderful job of taking care of our folks during our large conference. Everyone was able to relax and felt super taken-care-of! Francisco was there to help us throughout the evenings and we had a wonderful time!! He checked on us throughout the evening and ensure that everyone was taken care of – he is a true professional focused on customer service!!

    Breakfast

    We had a fantastic experience at the breakfast buffet, thanks to Alma! She went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our meal, checking in with a warm smile and great attention to detail. Her friendly attitude made our morning even better! If you’re visiting, be sure to ask for the chocolate chip pancakes! Thank you, Alma, for your wonderful service!
