Christian R. Business - 7/14/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

It was a very smooth and comfortable short-term stay at your hotel. We enjoyed the hospitality from the moment we checked in. We received our upgrade and enjoyed the entire stay. Maybe a small enhancement to your complimentary coffee service in the morning would be to offer some small pastries or other little things as an alternative to the otherwise beautiful but costly and time-consuming breakfast option.

Hello from DC! Thank you for sharing your positive experience at Sofitel Washington DC. We are delighted to hear that you found our hotel cozy and well-managed, and that you enjoyed the comfort and tranquility of your room. It is wonderful to know that you appreciated the hospitality during your stay, including the upgrade. We value your suggestion regarding our morning coffee service. Enhancing the guest experience is always a priority, and your feedback will be taken into consideration as we continually strive to improve our offerings. Thank you once again for your kind words and your loyalty. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Sincerely, Karla Erales Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square

Thank you for your kind words regarding your recent experience at our hotel! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our convenient location, exceptional service from our dedicated team, and the offerings at our Opaline restaurant and bar. We hope you will stay with us again on a future visit. Best regards, Karla Erales Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square

Thank you so much for your kind words regarding our location, staff, and the cleanliness of your room. We are delighted to hear that you had a comfortable stay with us and appreciate your feedback. We hope to host you again! Best regards, Karla Erales Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square

Christina M. Business - 7/7/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

The stay was totally enjoyable, from check in to check out. The staff were professional, courteous, attentive and helpful. The room was nicely furnished and very comfortable. The location was very central to all the main sights. The only thing that we didn't like about the room was the "rainfall" shower. The water flow/pressure was almost non-existent. We were shocked when we learned that parking was $70/day + taxes and fees ($12.60). We did inquire in April what the parking was and were told $45. We did inquire at the J.W. Marriott where our conference meals were held and the parking there at the time of our stay was $45. Not sure why the Sofitel has such an expensive (and perhaps misleading) contractor for their parking. Get the parking price in writing before you drive!

We greatly appreciate your thoughtful feedback regarding your recent stay at Sofitel Washington DC. We are pleased to hear that you found our location to be convenient and our dedicated staff to be professional and attentive. Your comfort is of utmost importance to us, and we are glad that you enjoyed your room. We value your comments about the rainfall shower and understand how important water pressure can be for a satisfying experience. Additionally, we recognize your concerns regarding the parking fees. The rates the valet company charges are determined by various factors, including the services provided as well as the pricing within the downtown area. I have shared your comments with them so that they ensure transparency and competitiveness with all of our guests. We strive to ensure that all information is communicated clearly, and your suggestion to obtain parking prices in writing is valuable advice for future guests. Thank you once again for your insights. We hope to welcome you back soon for another enjoyable stay. Best regards, Karla Erales Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square

Virginia A. Business - 7/7/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

The location was very convenient. Unfortunately, with the rain, we had a continuous drip in our room coming from a corner ceiling. They brought a bucket and towel but never took it away the remainder of our stay. Also, the elevator was stuck on our floor - 10. Because I didn't trust getting in an elevator that was acting funny and no other elevator was coming since it was stuck there, I had to walk down 10 flights of stairs and ended up in the employee rest area. A nice employee showed me how to get back the lobby and apologized. I have a replaced knee so taking 10 flights of stairs was not good for it. Another disappointment was one day, we ordered room service right when they told us to order and it didn't come after an hour and we had to leave without eating. These were the negatives. The positives were that they printed out a document for me free of charge which I appreciated. The cleaning staff cleaned the rooms well and make the beds every day. They did a great job. We had a larger room, and it was very nice (outside of the drip). I am concerned that the drip will make mold eventually, so I recommend you getting to the root cause.

Hello from DC! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated our convenient location and the efforts of our cleaning staff. Your positive remarks regarding their service will certainly be shared with the team. However, I sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you encountered during your stay. It is regrettable that you experienced issues with water leakage and the elevator. Our maintenance team is typically diligent in addressing such matters, and I understand how frustrating it must have been for you, especially given your knee condition. Additionally, I regret that your room service order did not meet your expectations. Timely service is a priority for us, and I appreciate your feedback regarding this matter. We truly value your input and have taken immediate steps to correct as we continue to improve our services. Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention and we hope to have a future opportunity to host you and provide a flawless experience. Sincerely, Karla Erales Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square
