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.
