Anniversary To DC

It was nice. The staff inside were very friendly and helpful, outside I couldn’t say the same. The only real problem we had was the mattress and pillows, they seemed old and worn, maybe need to be replaced. The location was excellent as we were able to walk everywhere.
Don, 4-night trip

Amazing stay!

Everyone was amazing. In fact I left my wallet in my room and Lindsey and her team kept it safe until she could arrange to have it sent to me. I’m indebted to the whole Sofitel DC team!!! Truly amazing!

Carlos, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Stay!!

My wife says that I’m “bougie” when it comes to hotels. When really I just like a clean and comfy place to stay/sleep that I can’t hear everything else going on in the hotel. This one met every mark with those aspects! It’s well taken care of, all the employees were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable, and it is very very quiet!! It also has a great location for walking around to visit sights, and is quite close to a metro station as well! Overall a great experience!
