Room was old and outdated. It wreaked of dewy rug. Smelled as if the carpet had been rained on with animals in there and left to air dry in a closed vented room. The walls were super thin where you could hear everything in other rooms. Valet lost our car keys because the staff took them home and could not be reached until 2hours later. I got a full refund, however, only after I asked because of the amount of inconvenience they caused me on my business trip. The room I purchased was not the room I got. The shower was not a walk in but instead a tub. The general manager was very apologetic and seemed to want to do everything possible to help. I would not stay here if you can avoid it. $61 $10.98 for parking a night. $35 a day for destination fee. $5.58 for destination occupation tax a night. $200 deposit will not cover a two night stay with valet. You will owe exactly $25.12 at the end of a two night stay. Anything more than two nights will cost more out of pocket. This is a precise price for two nights so take it as you will.

The Royal Sonesta was listed on Expedia for approximately $100 per night (foolishly, I thought it might be offered at that price because there was little going on in DC in early February). With all their unlisted extra, but required, fees it came to $270 per night (no upgrade, no additional services). Breakfast for two in their dining room was $75 (eggs, bacon, toast, coffee, no fruit, no juice). Our room (#811) was small, no chair other than a small desk chair and we could only open one suitcase at a time. One of the lights in the bathroom was coming out of the ceiling. Bed was comfortable but pillows were oversized making them uncomfortable. Hotel was clean and staff was helpful.

Thinks walls. Can hear people in the halls and even above you which is very annoying. Also, I like to sleep in the cold and the room doesn’t get cold even after setting it at a low temperature. Not impressed.
