The property is kept well and clean. Staff and service was exceptional. The location was phenomenal, right next to the white house and easy to walk to national mall. The property has an older feel to it. I avidly use the gyms at hotel. This one was failing. Missing dumbells, mismatched weight, several pieces of broken equipment. Unkept and frankly unusable. They have a peloton which is unstable and a hazard.

We had a nice stay at this Sofitel. Wish our bed was a little firmer ( of course that’s a personal preference) and for some odd reason we did not have a top sheet. Slept directly under the comforter. Otherwise, the room was very nice and the staff was great!
