Great for a weekend trip
We had a great stay at the Sonesta. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms and hallways were clean and a good size for a family of 4. The pool was a fun addition for the summer months and made the kids very happy. Very close to Logan Circle and historic district, made walking to the sights very easy. Nice neighborhood and onsite parking. Would stay again.

Overall fine place to stay. Great location to easily get to everything. The place wasn’t maybe the cleanest it could be - more just seemed a little run down and could use a refresh but nothing bad or specific. Comfortable and good for the price.

Just a stay
I have no complaints from my stay at Sonesta Hotel. Security and safety were good for the downtown area. I have one suggestion, if there’s a group (convention/event) allow other guests to have late check-out without a fee being charged.

Overall, we had an excellent stay. The staff was very polite and professional. The room was lovely and very comfortable. Pool area was great although the trash and dirty towels could have been removed before overflowing during peak time. Also, more regular coffee for the in-room coffee maker! There was more decaf than regular.
