Amazing!
This hotel was simply amazing. We had the best customer service with the front desk and even the cleaning staff. A special shout out to light skin Christopher who answered all of our questions and gave us pertinent information on parking and the city in general. The room was very clean, the bed very comfortable and the accommodations were great! They made our week long stay well worth it!

Perfect with a pinch of not-so-perfect
It’s evident this hotel is new - it’s perfect, polished, and pristine. We appreciated the eclectic, yet luxurious, aesthetic. L’Or coffee was a plus, though our complimentary water bottles were not replenished. The location was also perfect, with everything within reasonable walking distance from the Capitol and train station, to the museums of the National Mall and Christmas Market. I would have to say I do have some “complaints” - though this place is listed as family friendly, it felt far from it beyond the quirky details in decor. There was a very “adult” vibe in the evening, especially with the crowd that frequented the only restaurant on property. In addition, given the price paid for our stay, we were expecting to at least see daylight in our room. Instead, our room faced an office building - we had to keep our curtains closed as our view was of people working (their windows were just as bug as ours - everything was in plain sight! If I’m going to be unwillingly peering into neighboring offices, give a discount on the room at the very least!

Really liked our room and the excellent/friendly staff as well as the hotel's location. We strongly object, however, to the "resort fee" that was tagged on to the reservation. It may prevent us from coming back to a Sonesta hotel
