Be prepared to be blindsided by an $100 *daily security deposit. Stayed on 6th floor, the rooms smell like wet rug. The room above me had a hot tub leak so I was moved, but then that room had no heat, maintenance man couldn’t fix it after a 2 trips back n forth. I’m hoping to get refunded for the last day, we shall see. Rooms do look nice, hot tub is nice and restaurant attached is nice inside, wouldn’t come back though

Coveient and Classy Royal Sonesta
We went to DC to view the Impressionist Exhibit at the National Gallery. Staying just off Dupont Circle made our excursions easier. We enjoyed breakfast at the Royal Sonesta every morning and found the food and service excellent throughout our stay.

Huge room in a quiet corner of the hotel in a lively neighborhood. It was the perfect setting for a weekend getaway. One small detail...a lounging chair was missing...for next time. A buyout prevented me from enjoying Certo! their restaurant.
