Perfect with a pinch of not-so-perfect
It’s evident this hotel is new - it’s perfect, polished, and pristine. We appreciated the eclectic, yet luxurious, aesthetic. L’Or coffee was a plus, though our complimentary water bottles were not replenished. The location was also perfect, with everything within reasonable walking distance from the Capitol and train station, to the museums of the National Mall and Christmas Market. I would have to say I do have some “complaints” - though this place is listed as family friendly, it felt far from it beyond the quirky details in decor. There was a very “adult” vibe in the evening, especially with the crowd that frequented the only restaurant on property. In addition, given the price paid for our stay, we were expecting to at least see daylight in our room. Instead, our room faced an office building - we had to keep our curtains closed as our view was of people working (their windows were just as bug as ours - everything was in plain sight! If I’m going to be unwillingly peering into neighboring offices, give a discount on the room at the very least!

Really liked our room and the excellent/friendly staff as well as the hotel's location. We strongly object, however, to the "resort fee" that was tagged on to the reservation. It may prevent us from coming back to a Sonesta hotel

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
Front desk service was very poor and unfriendly. The destination fees were not communicated properly, and for a total of $3,200 plus taxes, the value received does not justify the cost. These fees are especially frustrating given that they cannot be effectively used for food or beverages due to the limited availability and high pricing of the onsite restaurant. Furthermore, the $32 fee feels excessive, unnecessary, and akin to a hidden charge. Lastly, I requested to have my receipt emailed to me upon checkout at the front desk, but it has still not arrived.
