Zero Communication- couldn't enter the property

They do not pick up the phone. They do not respond to any communication. I am pretty convinced there are no humans working for Found by Embassy (formerly Sonder by Marriott) I don’t know what kind of hotel has no check in clerk, mandates the presentation of the credit card used for booking (which on a business trip may be not possible), tells you via the booking app that if you need assistance you must wait until they send check-in instructions, never sends the check in instructions, and when you try any number of means to communicate, they Simply Do Not Answer the Phone and Do Not Even Respond to the Booking Agent! Just don’t bother with this property if you are a business traveler. Just book at a regular hotel. We did not use the booking and are still trying to hear back about a refund.

Excellent stay. Check in was done digitally via text and was very convenient. They do accommodate early check in and room requests (I wanted a quieter room). Just let them know a couple days in advance of your stay. Location is excellent. Located in DuPont Circle area which has great energy. Short bus ride to the White House and other landmarks. Also easily connected to the Metro. Rooms were basic but good for the price. Bed was comfortable and the TV had HBO, Prime, and other streaming services along with live TV. They have a snack/coffee bar in the lobby. Would return!

I really liked how quiet it was snd how effortlessly it was to check in & check out. Smooth. Very hospitable they took my bag to my room & found the room to be clean and had everything I needed…a coffee maker. I was able to walk to the National Mall without a problem, it’s pretty much a straight walk on NW 16th Street, saving me money. If I got hungry Uber eats to the rescue. I do like the fact they checked if everything was good and if I needed anything via email. Very nice staff though I only met one gentleman but he was very nice & helpful. I really enjoyed my stay. Definitely recommend it.

I came to town for two nights but spent most of my time outside of the property. This was a no-frills stay and to be honest not many complaints just comments. My room was super cozy. Had things I needed like soap, iron, towels, tv. My room did have a “surprise” under the bed so cleaning was not as thorough. The bathroom was fine but the shower had clear wear and tear. The bed was SUPER comfy. I would stay here again honestly for any solo/couple travels.
