Bart E Business - TripAdvisor review

Stay: January 15–17, 2025 The Sofitel Lafayette Square Hotel in Washington, DC, enjoys an enviable location right in the heart of downtown. Situated near the White House, a host of excellent restaurants, entertainment venues, and commercial buildings, it’s an ideal base for exploring the city, whether for business or leisure. The hotel’s overall ambiance reflects the charm and elegance one would expect from the Sofitel brand, and many of the staff exude the friendliness and helpfulness that elevate the guest experience. However, my stay was a mixed experience. Upon arrival, I was disappointed by the check-in process, which felt impersonal and indifferent. The staff member assisting me could hardly have been more blasé, leaving me with a less-than-warm first impression. Once in my room, I encountered another frustration: the lighting. Flicking the light switch did nothing to illuminate the space, as each individual light needed to be turned on separately. The most significant inconvenience, though, was the failure of the front desk to provide wake-up calls—despite acknowledging my requests—on two consecutive mornings. For a hotel catering to business travelers, this lapse is especially disappointing and disruptive. While the bathroom was well-appointed, it would have been a thoughtful touch to include bath salts or bubble bath beside the tub to enhance the luxurious feel of the space. Despite these shortcomings, the hotel’s location and general service quality make it a compelling option. With a few tweaks—especially ensuring more attentive service at check-in and wake-up call reliability—this Sofitel could shine as brightly as its prestigious address suggests.

My first stay at a Sofitel Hotel and it was amazing. The room was comfortable and actually had enough lighting for you to read a book and appear clearly on Zoom calls.

This is the third time I have stayed at this hotel, and the third time there has not been any hot water. There is luke-warm water, but not hot water. The shower is miserable because of it. I won't stay here again.
