Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was clean and comfortable. Plenty of towels, which I like. When I checked in, the person at the desk could not clearly explain why I was charged $200 over the pre-set room rate (refundable deposit, minus "activity fee" and room charges). Also, the $15 credit to the restaurant is a joke, since breakfast cost $50 ($6 for coffee? really? youre not The Ritz). Even with the credit, it would have been much cheaper to go the bagel store across the street or Le Pain Quotidien up the block.

One of the biggest hotel rooms I've ever stayed in outside of Vegas. Very good surprise, especially when city hotel rooms tend to be smaller. Fun design elementsin the room, nice Speakman showerhead, with good water pressure. Citrus scented bathroom amenities. Great location in Dupont with lots of restaurants around. Bravo, Royal Sonesta on a great stay!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The good: The beds were comfortable. The average: The rooms are missing typical furniture as we rented two rooms for our family and there was no couch, loveseat of chair to site in besides a desk chair. The desk and dresser that the TV sat on was meh. The TV did not work in one room (CATV was out for a day) The Cleaning crew was inconsistent. Clean/vacuum one day and not the next, missing towel, did not make bed, left new towels on floor. Very odd. One room had a noisy neighbor that liked to stay up late as the shared door is not sound-proof. Staff was nice enough though. Not very clean in one room as there was broken glass from champagne flutes, but they did come and re-vacuum. Area was very convenient to Metro and good restaurants. If you just want a decent bed and convenience, it will work well. If you need 5-star service, you will be disappointed.

I arrive at the hotel at 1230pm. Apparently check in was not until 4pm. I travel a lot and never had to wait so long to get into room. Luckily I had an association who had checked the day before so i was able to store my luggage with him. I didn't get into my room until 4pm..extremely weary from the morning's travel. At the price point this hotel charges I expected much more in terms of accommodation. Definitely not planning a return stay.

Great location, comfortable good sized room. Remarkably quiet for the location. Only complaint is the"destination fee", which is just a way to add 40 dollars to the room cost without providing meaningful value.
