Poor condition. E had to change rooms because heat didn’t work, temperature control on shower didn’t work correctly, remote for tv had to be replaced and lights were so dim you couldn’t shave.

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.

Fantastic room, comfortable beds, easy DuPont Circle location. It was a great spot for our five night trip. The free breakfast was a hit as well.

Mediocre expensive room.
The room was clean and spacious. When the heat came on and turned off, the unit made a really loud noise. The bathroom amenities weren’t great. I didn’t feel it was worth the nightly room rate of $839.
