Viatges a Eastport

The charm is wonderful, and I loved the room. Definitely had an old "DC" feel. I only gave it 3 stars because the amenities were lacking. My television frequently went in and out of connection, only two water bottles in the rooms (you had to ask the front desk and I felt lije it was an inconvenience each time I asked which was twice in 5 days) no vending machine to get cold drinks, limited signage to where anything is, my refrigerator didn't shut properly and a couple of things went bad the first night, the AC rattled the entire time, etc. Nothing major but it added up. It would be different if there were convenient stores or other needed essentials right next door, but I just felt like this was too expensive of a stay, 4th of July weekend or not, to not offer more convenience and creature comforts inside the hotel...especially considering the sweltering heat visitors to DC just endured. I did love the history of the building and the ambience but beyond that, I wouldn't stay again without more effort around the little things that you really expect at a place like this.

I was in DC for 8 days for the 250 celebrations and sight-seeing, staying at the Sofitel Hotel. The breakfast is very small in size, expensive and absolutely terrible.there are plenty of much better options nearby. The room was professionally skillfully cleaned daily. however, the ancient TV set was hang crooked and looked beat up. The location is excellent near all the action, however the hotel is very dated the elevators are slow and creaky. It seems rundown for a "five star" designation and it's grossly overpriced for what you getting. The front desk is a hit and miss staffed by mostly African "immigrants" with poor language and customers service skills and most of the time are nowhere to be found. The "free coffee" in the Lobby was cold most of the time, never replenished and that corner was littered with empty disposable cups and an overflowing trash can. I used the bar once it's ok however grossly expensive. Overall I booked the hotel for the location and I was gone most of the time running around DC celebrating. I've been staying in 5 stars hotels all over the world and the US for the last 30 years. Things completely changed for the worst after covid and the Biden invasion. so SAD...

Excellent environment within auniversity. Clean and decent hotel with nice staff.

This small, reasonably priced, well-located hotel is incredibly clean, the rooms are quiet (although the air conditioner does make sound when it goes on and off), the staff is very helpful and there is a great bar/restaurant attached. It's two blocks away from Union Station and besides its own restaurant, there are several others within a 10 minute walking radius. The downside for us is that there isn't a coffee maker in the room. There are two machines for everyone's use on the 2nd floor, but they happened to both be out of order when we were there. Still, we would definitely stay there again the next time we go to D.C.

Great location. Large room. Helpful staff. Great bar and dining. Will return.
