I didn't like that I had to request a fitted sheet and top sheet to our bed. There was no refrigerator in our room. When the towels had to be restocked, housekeeping only left one set, we had three guests our entire stay. Lastly, this was the first time I have stayed at a hotel and had to call the front desk to ask to restock more toilet paper.

We stayed here the week of July 4th. It was conveniently located one block from the Metro. The map on Expedia is a little deceiving as it appears the hotel is directly across from the White House. It is actually 2 blocks from the White House. The hotel is clean and the front desk employees were very nice and helpful. The parking attendants could have paid more attention to helping you with opening the front door, which is very heavy, and the handicap push button was directly behind them making it difficult to get to when your hands were full, most of them didn't even look at you or greet you. The rooms are nice but when another room leaves the doors slam and shake the door to your room. The beds are a little on the firm side. The refrigerators are ridiculous, they have notches on each shelf for drinks so it is difficult to put any food in it and it was never very cold, I could not find the cooling knob to turn it up. You can connect your tv to any streaming service, which worked the first 2 days but then it was hit and miss the remaining days of our stay. The IT guy came up and evaluated it and said he would have to call the company. I don't know if he did because it was difficult to connect even after he came to evaluate it.

I recently attended the 57th Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated convention and stayed at the Sofitel Lafayette Square hotel and really enjoyed my stay. The staff was friendly and responsive to our needs. The hotel is in walking distance to different restaurants from upscale to fast food. Various high end shopping options were in close proximity also. Overall, we had a great stay and will revisit if we are ever in the area again.
