A pretty, but a bit sterile place, I would say. The hotel has all the primary facilities - a guest restaurant, lobby bar, etc. The interior is very nice, the lobby reminds me of a piano bar, however, the atmosphere is a bit cold. I would say that th

There is everything to love about this place (unless you need a swim.) I did not eat here but stayed 4 nights (TH-SU) of total comfort and cleanliness and friendliness (great bathroom.) Everything I needed, especially the greatest location two blocks from White House, Old Ebbit Grill, K Street, one block to Metro, fastest-never-waited-elevators. Very Nice - worth whatever you pay (look for deals) and nothing to complain about unless you are a 'never happy' weirdo. I even spared the silly wireless fees by using the free computers in the business center. Keep up the great job, Sofitel DC personnel.
