The restrooms didn’t have a fan and felt super muggy. The rooms we saw online were different than what we got and the carpet looked dirty. Room service was fast and on time. Appreciated the accommodation to get our unit earlier than the check in time.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service

The Royal Sonesta was conveniently located to DuPont Circle and within walking distance to the Metro. Our large double queen deluxe room was roomy and kept clean on a daily basis. There was a small refrigerator but no microwave. When asked if one was available to use for guests, one was delivered to our room. The safe in our closet did not work, and various ice machines in the building were not working. All the staff we encountered was friendly and helpful and was quick to provide everything we asked for. There was a Kuerig machine in our room. I did not notice any coffee, cookies, or fruit in the lobby—only dog treats. Even though there are updates that probably are needed, we felt our stay was very comfortable and the cost affordable. We would stay at this property again.

Decent/average. The food is overprices for the quality you get. The sun doesn’t reach the pool area as it’s surrounded by buildings. Sun aside the pool area could better, is decent at best. On a good note, the staff is nice and room service was fast and attentive.

The hotel was clean, and our room was large. The staff was wonderful, and they wanted to ensure that we had a great trip. We were greeted by Maxwell when we arrived who made us feel welcomed. The location was perfect. There was a Bagel place across the street was awesome. We ate breakfast once in the hotel and the food was good but pricy. We did eat dinner once in the hotel and the food was delicious.
