SirJamesManila 24/07/2020 TripAdvisor review

I am writing to tell you how disappointed I was in the lack of service from this hotel. The non-existent housekeeping was a major disappointment. After 3 days, I hated my room. There is no logical reason to prevent housekeeping from cleaning a guest's room when the guest is out. Closing you restaurant while others stay open in your area was another major inconvenience. I my opinion, your management has used Covid19 as a way to reduce your overhead at the expense of your guests. The front desk staff did an amazing job attempting to do everything they could since your management pushed everything onto them. In hindsight, I wish that I had stayed in an Airbnb.

Dear Sir James Manila, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. At Sofitel Hotels & Resorts, we strive to provide a superior and safe service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us. We appreciate your sharing your concerns. In light of ongoing news regarding the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), we have taken measures in order to ensure the safety, health and wellbeing of our guests and colleagues. We are sorry to hear that the adjustment of services was a disappointment, but are happy to hear that the front desk staff did an amazing customer service job. We truly hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely,

I love the location and the staff were just fantastic. I was concerned when there were no soaps or shampoos and there was a used bar of soap on the sink. Felt unsafe a little with the corona thing. No room service was understandable though.

Justin Couples - 18/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Got there at 9am, early check in originally scheduled for roughly 12 noon but they had space for us and let us in early no problems. Amenities were all there, however the refridgerator would not open for us (we were ready to pay for some alcohol after a long night of flying but, oh well). However everything else was amazing, bed was clean and comfy, shower pressure amazing, good customer service from janitorial services, honestly zero complaints except for the fact that our fridge literally would not open.

My only concern is the invoicing of that stay. I've been charged USD 403,12 for that night. Though my accounting department reports a USD 370,14 charge on our bank account. We do not have any receipt for this and I do not recall having been asked to pay that amount. Can I ask you where does this come from?

It was a good stay overall but Cleanliness should improve. One of my items fell in the crack between the table and the wall. I had to move the table to get it and found a lot of junk on the floor from many years probably!

When I walked in the place felt historic and cozy. A lovely fragrance filled the entrance area. A large beautiful green velvet settee filled the wall area in the entrance and a wonderfully polite but never in your face staff. They understood the art of service. There were 2 bottles of complimentary water. The bed was comfortable, and the sheets and towels were plentiful and quality. Two plush terry cloth robes were available. Everything to make you feel perfectly comfortable and comforting hotel room.
