Overall, we had an excellent stay. The staff was very polite and professional. The room was lovely and very comfortable. Pool area was great although the trash and dirty towels could have been removed before overflowing during peak time. Also, more regular coffee for the in-room coffee maker! There was more decaf than regular.

Great for a weekend trip

We had a great stay at the Sonesta. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms and hallways were clean and a good size for a family of 4. The pool was a fun addition for the summer months and made the kids very happy. Very close to Logan Circle and historic district, made walking to the sights very easy. Nice neighborhood and onsite parking. Would stay again.
