Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square

We stayed this past weekend at the Sofitel and agreed we'd absolutely return. The front desk staff was welcoming, helpful, professional, and funny. We thoroughly enjoyed interacting with them. Our room was lovely and clean, and the bed was fantastically comfortable. Since it was too cold to wander much this past Saturday night, we stayed in and linked his tablet to the smart TV, which was a great feature. The bathroom shower was excellent - great water pressure and it gets HOT! The location is good for access to Union Station and monuments, but be aware everything closes around 7pm in the immediate vicinity. Next, I want to pay this advice forward. Another reviewer recommended Zeke's Coffee, which is across the street from Joe's Seafood. It's small and easy to miss, but it has excellent coffee, decent pastries, and a friendly staff. It's small, but has great character and is far superior to and closer than Starbucks. Give these people some business. My only complaint is the snotty hostess at the restaurant, who was completely annoyed and refused to look at me when I politely asked to see a menu on Saturday night. She was somewhat more welcoming to a couple who asked to be seated. Apparently, "hospitality" is not a word in her vocabulary. Her attitude deterred me from eating there. The rest of the staff, from the men who hold the doors to everyone working the front desk, are wonderful! We very much enjoyed our stay at your lovely hotel.
