The Stephen F Austin Royal Sonesta Hotel

It was ok the rooms were nice but the pool wasnt all that. The jacuzzi was not working and one of the bars to go up out the pool was under construction. The pool had way too much chlorine and was real salty and also not to mention cold water for it being indoor pool. 

Day room pass 

The pool was not accessible by anything but a ladder, no steps, eliminating access, including a broken ladder.. The hot tub was not functioning, barely warm and the jets would not come on. Daycation was a dud. During check out staff acknowledged the issue with the hot tub, so they knew in advance of these deficiencies, including the broken ladder. 

No access and non functioning Spa

Booking was easy and check-in was a breeze. I was a little confused by the self-park option as I only saw valet service when I drove up. The only other small issue was that the ResortPass site had a different check out time listed than what I was told at the front desk, resulting in one less hour than I expected when I booked. 

Easy to book and check-in

Indoor pool

Great customer service. Bar, restaurant and front desk staff were outstanding. Smooth check in and out. Definitely worth getting if you're looking to relax before a late flight.

Day Room

The hot tub was very nice on a cold day, although not all of the jets were working. The gym was very complete and the locker room and gym were well appointed with towels and cool towels.

You should be aware that a $100 deposit is required at the front desk and the breakfast restaurant has a hard stop around 11:30 AM.

Very Nice Hot Tub and Gym

Convenient location

The staff were extremely nice and helpful. The room was clean and fresh the attached restaurant had great drinks and it had a great indoor pool. 

Extremely nice
