The staff is great when you get then but front desk and room service rarely answer the phone. There’s bums sleeping all around the building at night and there’s a night club right outside the building across from the room we were in. Lots of unsavory late night business. The one valet guy wasn’t very polite, and it’s a tuff space to turn cars around. Witnesses very dicey. I did leave something in my room they got back to me very quickly and are shipping it to me which is great! I did pay for this but am happy to. So overall great staff but seemed hard to get on the line. The surrounding area not the best.

Do not recommend
The hotel is under construction, which we did not know when we booked and paid for the room. The lobby is tented. Workers with ladders etc. An airport style bar and cafe. The beds were not comfortable. Think of an unstructured pillow. The mini bar did not operate to purchase a soda. The desk attendant could not break a larger bill to provide money to tip the valet. it was a terrible stay for a high price.

Two days before arriving at the hotel, we were notified that renovations would be taking place. No mention of any renovations was provided when the reservation was booked 4 weeks earlier. Upon arrival, there was a high level of noise from power saws and tools, so the you could not hear a word that the hotel employee behind the desk was saying. She was abrupt and surly and informed us that $200.00 would be kept in escrow for “extras”. I have never encountered that in any high end hotel before. It doesn’t seem necessary as they have your credit card information anyway. At breakfast, we ordered orange juice and water, which never arrived. When we asked if there was cream cheese for a bagel, the server informed us that they were out of cream cheese. The toaster was also out of order. After my wife had eaten the untoasted bagel, the staff brought out a supply of cream cheese. Amazing. At check out time, we texted the valet 20 min prior to preparing to leave, as instructed, to bring up the car. We got an automatic text reply stating “we have no valets at present, try again later.” After 30 min, the front desk attendant (same surly person as on arrival), said she would get the car. 30 then 60 minutes passed, and the same desk person stated that they have nothing to do with the valet, as it is a separate company. Finally, after 1 hour and 45 min., the car arrived. At the Sofitel, you will hear a lot of “bonjours”, to which I definitively and forever reply, “au revoir.”
