"My wife and I visit Nola at least 4 times per year. We have always stayed at another hotel, but tried the Sonesta on a friend’s recommendation. This is our new home, and for many reasons. Valet parking was much easier and secure. I’ve had flat tires and car damage at the other establishment, but Sonesta has their own valets and not contracted to a third party. Location is ideal. We prefer the canal street end of Bourbon for the nightlife. The staff is amazing. Since Covid many establishments are having employee turnover, not at the Sonesta. Wilbur has been the bellman for 50 years, and he is just one example. The people are the main reason we love New Orleans, and the Sonesta is the best example of this"
