Great location to stay in D.C.
Recently stayed at Sofitel in D.C. and had a wonderful experience. The room was great and the service inside the hotel was top-notch especially the front desk staff. The restaurant breakfast team had food ready in short time, good portions and the croissants were exceptional. However, I believe there’s room for improvement in the external entrance area. First inpressions last a lifetime. It could be more inviting, and a bit more attention to detail from the valet staff in welcoming guests would enhance the arrival experience. Overall, I still had a fantastic stay and would recommend this hotel.

Service Exceptional, Rooms Need Attention
Exceptional service from the staff at the hotel. Impressive lobby. The rooms are in desperate need of some TLC. We weren’t happy with our first room, and were given a second room instead. Although that room was an upgrade and bigger, same of the issues remained. There were stains/markings on a lot of the walls, the air conditioning was loud and clunky and running a tap in the bathroom was loud. The location is super and close to the White House, with easy access to the Washington Monument and walking distance of Capitol building. One of few hotels I’ve managed to get ‘Chromecast’ to work for Netflix. The bar/restaurant downstairs is brilliant and I really can’t underplay that the service from every individual at reception was exceptional. I just wish the rooms were as good as the service. I would stay again, and would recommend. Please just consider that your rooms need some work, and hats off to everyone at Reception!
