Great Location - Great Service!
My husband, daughter and I recently stayed at the Sofitel for three nights. I was there for business and they were going to see the sites. The Sofitel is in an excellent location for both business and pleasure. About a block from the White House and in walking distance for so much! We didn't need a car and when we needed car service or a taxi, it was immediately available. The hotel staff is outstanding - everyone is extremely polite and beyond helpful. Upon checking in, there were no rooms with two beds available so we were upgraded to a junior sweet - this was to give our daughter a place to sleep vs. the air mattress option. Our room was not ready so they called our cell to let us know when it was available. We were very pleased with the room, size and ameneties. There were robes, slippers and high end bath products. If needed dry cleaning is available as well. I can't speak to the food or room service as we ate around town for our meals. Prices seemed a bit high for food and drinks but you are in DC so this is expected. The only issue we experienced was when calling the customer service line to ask questions about the hotel prior to our trip - it was a 40 minute process with no result. Outside of that, our experience at the hotel more than made up that. I am a frequent business traveler and would certainly recommend the Sotfitel for business or pleasure when in DC.
