Usual Sofitel standard.

First time in Washington. Centrally located hotel but on a quiet block. Close to Metro. Same classy service and facilities you’ll find in Sofitel most places. All the staff make a real effort. Good sized rooms.

Nice hotel and great location

Pros: Nice and central, close to all the attractions and museums
Cons: No fridge for any food or drinks - there is a mini bar which is pre-packed. They dont supply anything for you to make tea or a coffee
Location: Great deli across the road. Handy to the metro, about 200m away.
If you stay longer, ie 4 nights plus, you get a larger room, which is nice. Nice free coffee downstairs in the morning, before 9.30am
