Well-located and overpriced
Beds soft, inside room without good natural light, inefficient check in with Southern hospitable smile. Gym fair.

4/10 Fair

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.

8/10 Very good

The hotel is nice and new, the service was good, and they even let us check in early. Unfortunately, our room was quite warm, and did not cool down much even when we lowered the temperature on the A/C. Also, parking is valet service and about $65 a night. The hotel also charged a destination fee that I think was about $35 a night, so beware of hidden fees at this hotel.

New hotel, friendly staff
New hotel, so everything looks nice. The room is huge, including the bathroom. But it really lacks in closet space. The staff are very friendly! Oddly, the safe is on a shelf so low you literally have to lie on the floor to use it!

Full of wonderful surprises
what a pleasant surprise, I loved the spaciousness of my room the quiet heater and fridge and the French restaurant was the cherry on top. I had a rare drink called, "At Last" that was crafted on the next level and the mixogist, Maria, shared the 3 day process that went into my drink. The Sonesta is on my list of hotels to stay at when I travel to DC.
