S*it show
The hotel decided to film a TV commercial and poorly managed the timing with the guests. My granddaughter was late for her volleyball tournament because we could not get a luggage cart. We had a lot of stuff! The only saving grace was her games started late. The housekeeping staff was amazing and kicked into help mode and found a cart from laundry, we waited for 20 minutes for a cart, tried to call the front dest and no one answered. Check was at 11:00 and we just ,made it for that. When we went down for breakfast all 4 of us 2 kids, the film staff was rude in telling us to be quiet. No warning no notice. Everyone was apologizing but it seemed more out of being a problem. The staff said they didn’t know about the commercial. They need to fire their project manager if this is the case. The commercial was obviously more important than the guest.

A Luxurious Oasis in the Heart of the City
Nestled in the heart of DC, our stay at the Royal Sonesta Hotel was exceptional. Situated within walking distance to bus stops and metro stations, getting around the city was a breeze. Furthermore, its prime location allowed us to easily access iconic monuments and museums, adding an extra layer of convenience to our stay. Upon stepping into the hotel lobby, we were greeted by modern elegance. The upscale décor and sleek design elements throughout the property set the tone for a truly luxurious experience. The spacious rooms, adorned with contemporary furnishings and state-of-the-art amenities, provided a welcome retreat after a day of exploring the city. The hotel's commitment to excellence was evident in every aspect of our stay. From the attentive staff who went above and beyond to accommodate our needs to the impeccable cleanliness maintained throughout the premises, every detail was thoughtfully curated to ensure a memorable stay. Overall, our experience at this hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable stay in DC.

This is a nice, new property, opened in the Fall of 2023. Rooms and layout are very comfortable. Easy valet parking. Very Convenient to the Capitol. There are not a lot of eating places around the hotel and, although they have instructions to order room service, when we tried to, we were told they don't yet have any room service. They do have a restaurant and bar and we were able to order food at the bar and take it up to our room.

Nice look but won't return based on heat issues
For a new hotel, I was very disappointed in how poorly insulated the lobby space was. It was absolutely freezing and everyone was wearing their winter coats shivering as they waited for their ride. I also think it's a joke to charge $30 in a "destination fee". Nothing about the cold lobby space says destination. The rooms were cute and clean. However you couldn't cool your room. Those spaces were ridiculously hot, with a thermostat set to 63, I never got the room below 74.
