Coveient and Classy Royal Sonesta
We went to DC to view the Impressionist Exhibit at the National Gallery. Staying just off Dupont Circle made our excursions easier. We enjoyed breakfast at the Royal Sonesta every morning and found the food and service excellent throughout our stay.

Huge room in a quiet corner of the hotel in a lively neighborhood. It was the perfect setting for a weekend getaway. One small detail...a lounging chair was missing...for next time. A buyout prevented me from enjoying Certo! their restaurant.

The staff were exceptionally polite and gracious. The room we got was spacious and well equipped, however there were some spots between the bed and night stand that didnt seem to have been cleaned in a while (dirt, paper, garbage from a previous stay). Otherwise, the room was comfortable and clean. The restaurant service was top tier with tasty breakfast that we enjoyed daily. Additionally, the bar was well stocked and the bartenders well-trained and courteous. I enjoyed my stay and will return in tbe future!

The only issue we encountered was a staff member let himself into our room "looking for keys he left." He knocked and entered immediately without waiting for us to open the door. It was extremely invasive and unprofessional.
