I enjoyed the hotel and location. One brief observation the breakfast menu was not as enjoyable as in the past. Sorry but cutting corners in the quality of your food product is not good. The breakfast in the past was very French and top quality.

The hotel itself was adequate, though it did not meet my expectations of a five-star property. Its location, however, is very convenient. Unfortunately, my experience was negatively impacted by two unauthorized room service charges totaling nearly $600 that were added to my bill. I contacted the hotel to report the charges and was advised that I would receive a follow-up call. After not hearing back, I called again the following day and was told the matter would be escalated to a manager and that I would be contacted. Despite multiple attempts, including an email inquiry, I received no response. While the incorrect charges were eventually refunded, no one from the hotel reached out to notify me, explain the resolution, or offer an apology. I only became aware of the refund after checking my credit card statement. A simple communication acknowledging the issue would have been appreciated. Due to how this situation was handled, I will not be returning to this hotel. I strongly recommend that future guests carefully review their invoices before departure.

Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay at Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square. I am pleased to hear that you found our location convenient; however, I regret that your experience fell short of your expectations, particularly in regard to communication and billing issues. I understand that unauthorized charges can be frustrating and distressing. While I am glad to learn that the charges were eventually refunded, I sincerely apologize for the lack of timely follow-up and communication from our team during this process. It is a priority for us to ensure our guests feel informed and valued, and it seems we missed the mark in this instance. Your comments have been taken into consideration as we strive to enhance our services and communication practices. I appreciate your recommendation for future guests to review their invoices, as attentiveness is crucial. Thank you once again for your valuable insights and we hope you will consider staying with us so that we may earn your loyalty. Sincerely, Karla Erales Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square

My family stayed at the hotel for 1 night because we wanted to be close to the major museums. The location and proximity to museums, the National Mall, White House, and historic restaurants was fantastic. However, the experience at the hotel was not great. The hotel staff was generally attentive and tried to address our concerns. The valet was not helpful at all.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding your recent stay with us. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated our prime location near the museums and historic sites. However, it is regrettable to learn that your experience did not meet your expectations, particularly concerning the valet service. I am very sorry for this poor experience. Please be assured that your feedback about the staff's attentiveness has been noted, and we will strive to enhance our service in all areas. Your insights are valuable to us as we aim to provide a memorable experience for all our guests. We hope you will consider us on a future visit so that we can ensure a seamless experience and earn your loyalty. Sincerely, Karla Erales Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square
