Spent a lot of money on the president suite and no smart TVs (even holiday inn has that) toilet leaked water in floor when flushed and reported it twice! Shower door didn’t close and soaked floor. Huge scratch on my brand new truck! Even the front door hinge was held on with duck tape! A lot of money spent for run down room!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room reeks of mildew. It was most likely from the carpet, but could have been the A/C, which barely worked. The shower drain was very slow, toilet not functioning properly. Front desk staff was aloof. Front door staff very friendly. Restaurant was good, but terribly overpriced. Raheem was the shining star. Friendly and attentive. Our VIP perk was to not have to pay the amenity fee, but we had to hassle for over an hour with Expedia to get that credit. Gym was nicely appointed and useful, though equipment was on the fritz.

Great stay at the Royal Sonesta Dupont Circle!

The location is perfect, the staff friendly and courteous, and the hotel and room are modern and very clean. I thought the bed was exceptionally comfortable! The fitness center is well equipped and roomy. While we didn't eat at Certo, we had drinks at the bar and the bartender was also exceptional in his knowledge and presentation with drinks, and also very courteous. The only downside is the cost of the valet parking - it is very expensive. If you can arrive via Metro or work out alternate means for arrival, I highly encourage it. I think street parking is free during the weekends, but that only equals one night of savings.
