Excellent property
The Royal Sonesta is a chic modern hotel. The location is excellent. It is 1 block away from Union Station, making it accessible to many modes of transportation. The staff is very pleasant from the doorman to the hotel reception. Willie in the front desk was awesome. The rooms are very spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable.

Wonderful experience from check-in to check out!
It was fabulous! All the employees were welcoming and very helpful! My room 345 was extremely clean and comfortable. The housekeepers were wonderful and friendly and my room was perfect every day!
The restaurant next door was delicious and their staff always happy to see my friends and I! It was a wonderful experience for my first visit to Washington DC and I would be more than happy to recommend your hotel to my friends and I would love to stay there again on my next visit!

President Trump 3rd victory, second inauguration
The hotel staff was absolutely delightful, the room was comfortable and very clean (every day, in spite of the mess we left :/) there was a minor issue with the toilet that was fixed immediately
The restaurant served fabulous food but the service was a bit lax
I would highly recommend a stay to anyone traveling to DC
