Pros:Extremely friendly staff and hard working door/valet. Rooms are quiet. Many with a great view. Perfect place to stay when looking to explore the plaza.
Cons:Wine list in main bar needs to be improved.
M
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:The staff at Hotel Sorella went out of their way to help me when I became very ill during trip. Their chef made me special soup, and the banquet manager even drove me to the hospital when that eventually occurred. The front desk did everything they could to accommodate my needs as I could not leave my room. While my business trip was ruined due to the illness, they made it a lot more comfortable. I would come here again and again!
J
6.5 Okay
Cons:Was asked for my room key as proof that I was staying in at the hotel. Was later informed by an employee that the individual that asked for proof that I was staying at the hotel did not ask the Caucasian individuals who were staying at the hotel. Will never go back.
A
9.7 Wonderful
Cons:Being unfamilar with the area, I opted for the valet parking for our stay. When I ventured out from the hotel to the Country Club Plaza area 1.5 blocks away, I found a large free parking garage! Won't make that mistake again if I ever go back there.
