We stayed at Royal Sonesta for the first time from May 1 - May 4. It was a great experience from the moment we checked in until we left for the airport. First, we got there before 12 noon and they had a room ready for us, which we were grateful for. We stayed in the fourth floor and was very quiet and peaceful. Everyone at the front desk was very friendly. We requested our sheets to be changed the first nigh we were there and it was done without a problem. We also asked for extra bottles of water (very hot in DC) and got them without a problem. They provided us with a water container that we were able to bring home with us, it was very convenient to carry around to refill with water. On the day we left, we slept in a little late and by the time we wanted to get breakfast it was almost check out time (11 AM), however, the young lady at the front desk allowed us to go enjoy our breakfast w/out a problem. We will definitely be booking with them again in the near future. How could I forget to say that it was very convenient, about a block from union station, easy ride from the airport. Lots of places to eat inside union station. Simply enjoyed it :)
