L'hôtel a beaucoup décliné par rapport à nos précédents passages. Moins de services sont offerts (pas de conciergerie actuellement, restaurant fermé le midi). L'hôtel à notre avis ne justifie plus sa catégorie.

Exceptional location, one block from Metro. Beautiful, safe neighborhood. All of the people working for the hotel were great. The room was very clean. Hotel has a great restaurant. The view was of a beautiful ornate old building. Bed was extremely comfortable, the room was quiet, you didn’t hear any noise in the hallway or street. Shower was great. Loved the Nespresso coffee maker and coffee in the room. The room had a mini fridge that was empty so you could store any leftovers in it. There was complimentary water given each day.
I paid extra for a room upgrade to luxury. The leather headboard and desk chair were ripped and frayed. Very small thing, but if you pay extra for luxury I think it just means the view. The hotel had what they called room service, but it was items from the restaurant menu and if you ordered it you would have to pay $10 extra per order. This is fine if you want to, but I thought it would have been a little excessive to order a $9 bowl of oatmeal for breakfast and pay $19 for it plus a tip if I wanted breakfast in my PJ’s. One more small thing, I had a question about something related to my stay that I approached and emailed hotel staff with several times in my week stay. they constantly said they would get back to me with the answer and never did.

The location was excellent - REALLY close to the White House (like 100 meters)
The woman receptionist was unfriendly and not polite - it felt like we were boring her and we didn't feel welcome.

Excellent location. Just a few minutes walk from the White House and relatively close to all other tourist attractions.
This is a very old building, and not really indicative of the standards that you would find that other Sofitel locations around the world. The rooms are pretty old and the furniture has been rundown a lot. The washroom is surprisingly nice and spacious.

The location is great. Only a few steps from the White House. The bathroom was nice and clean. Good towels.
The beds in the double room are small. They are twin beds, not queen.. So, the room only fits 2 adults ( not 3 ) and maybe two small children. And the wardrobe is tiny.

The staff and location was excellent- one block from the White House- easy to Uber anywhere
The entire wait staff inside the restaurant was negligent of good service
The place was empty and it took 20 minutes to get two drinks - only complaint

They still keep my money
billing is very bad. They still not return the extra money taking from my cards. More than a thousand dollars

Location and proximity to the main attractions
The hotel seems to show signs of aging and requires some attention. The restaurant is far from being up to French cuisine standards and needs drastic upscaling.

Breakfast
Mini bar was empty. You had to ask for what you wanted from a code. . Very strange. No wine etc.
Help not eager beavers. Did what they needed to do. No shavers in bathroom. Had to ask for Wi-Fi password so it would work. We know Sofitel from Europe. Definitely not comparable. Maybe a 4 star pushing it. Definitely not 5 star. Does not measure up to the Fauberg St Honore in Paris or the Sofitel in Marseille or the Sofitel in Venice and in St Barthes. Disappointed but location great in DC.

The hotel is beautiful, its a 5 minute walk from the White House & BLM Plaza, the Opaline restaurant was amazing (lunch; the Endive salad is delicious), the staff were friendly, they use nicely-scented Balmain products in the restroom, and the vibe was one to be desired.
I was told I could not get a room with a view of the White House for security reasons but I’ve read that others have been assigned rooms with this view. I requested well in advance (in case it was possible) but this response was only shared upon arrival. I understand the security component but the communication was not clear or timely in this case.

location is perfect for walking to all sites, lovely outdoor/patio vibe, decor is cozy, room very comfortable, great shower, very good breakfast!
“Urban Experience fee”? Really? For the room rate paid, that seems wrong.

I had a bedroom on the top floor, interesting view and lots of sun. The bed was very comfortable, the room's decoration was very elegant and posh, the bathroom was well appointed, the toiletries were first class, the service at the front desk was excellent.
I loved the location even though it is not at Lafayette Square as advertised but a block away. Easy walk to the Mall and museums. There are some very nice restaurants within a block or two and across the street. The area felt very safe.
An armchair in the bedroom was so worn with ripped corners that I had to request a replacement. It took several hours, emails and photos to get it done.
There was no lobby, no lounge area, just a bench in the entrance and two tiny rooms with two armchairs on each side. No place to meet with friends or guests.
The TV was not working properly but I still got charged extra for the service. One of the shades covering the window had a broken string/line, therefore the shade hung very crooked. The shower leaked under the door.
