We stayed at the Sofitel on July 4th, so that it would be close to the fireworks at The Mall (versus being squished in the Metro roundtrip). It was a great idea, because the Washington Monument was just a short walk away. Our room was very small (compared to the rooms our other family member had), with a direct view... more

We got an inside room (King superior) on the 11th floor. We wanted a quiet room--this was definitely quiet, but a little small and claustrophobic with no street view. A/C worked great--very welcoming after walking outside in the heat for hours. All of the staff was very pleasant and professional. The maid was especially courteous and got us a top... more

My wife and I stayed at the Sofitel Lafayette Square for the fifth and final leg of our 3-week honeymoon in the States. The service at this hotel is second to none. From the courteous and helpful front desk, to the excellent concierges (both day and night staff were excellent) and the friendly bar staff, all enhanced our stay immensely.... more

My wife and I spent the July 4th weekend at the Sofitel in Lafayette Square and had a very nice stay. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful and the overall atmosphere to be on the reserved and upscale side. We arrived early and were thrilled to be able to check in. Unfortunately, when we got to our... more

Location, location, location. Convenient for a July 4th leisure weekend. Major attractions and a close metro station made life much simpler. Courteous Staff. Always a welcoming smile, and personal greeting. Sincere, and eager to be of service. Rooms. Nice corner suite for us. Windows abound. Views of the goings on with both 15th St. and H.......AND THE BED is wonderful!... more

I am not sure the degree to which the hotel puts people who buy their rooms on Hotline in the less-desirable rooms (small, with carpet stains, etc.) but that's what we ended up with. We didn't really care, since we weren't planning to spend much time in the room anyway, but it is something to mention. The housekeeping service was... more

I had my block of hotel rooms here for my wedding over the July 4th weekend and I stayed here also. It was just fantastic from the word go. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating and did whatever they could do to make my stay perfect. They even decorated my room with rose petals on my wedding night, and... more

Stayed at the Sofitel DC over the 4th of July. Booked through the hotel web site, for some kind of promo rate. Not a priceline rate, but not rack rate either. Couldn't have asked for a better location, especially for touring the National Mall and for the fireworks. The staff was fantastic and very pleasant. Unfortunately, the room I stayed... more

What a great location!!! Metro stops were on each block between the hotel making easy access. The conceirge service was excellent. It was a great pleasure to have someone give us recommendations and reservations. We loved it. more
