Loved by The Royal Sonesta Washington Dc Capitol Hill Hotel guests
"The room size was the biggest hotel room we have ever stayed in any hotel and the huge windows to view the DC was an add on bonus."
"The hotel is right across from Union Station so we bought all day passes and rode the trains to all of the museums and then again to see the monuments at night."
"Got a free upgrade to a king rook which was huge and spacious."

good coffee podsplenty of towelslate housekeepingoff shift
the coffee pods in the room were good. plenty of towels were available.
I was really disappointed because i didn't receive any housekeeping services . On the first full day, housekeeping knocked at almost 5pm. i asked if they could return in ten minutes. but i was told "no," because she had to go off shift.

high costvalet untruths
The hotel LOOKED excellent, but some things were off. I was told the valet parking was the only option. It cost a FORTUNE. The staff told me some untruths about the valet service I received. It was very annoying! The room was fine, but the whole parking situation left a bad taste.
