Got a great deal here on priceline.com
The room was beautiful- very clean and modern with extremely comfortable bed. This was the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The shower was also wonderful.

Just spent 5 days at this hotel - it was incredibly convenient - right near the White House - the staff was incredible - especially the consierge - he went out of his way to help us. 1/2 price on week-ends so it was a real deal for the price.

I stayed at the Sofitel Lafayette for one night in May while in DC on business. I usually stay in Kimpton hotels while on business but, for some reason, I was booked at a Sofitel this time around. I'm thrilled that it worked out that way.

My experience at Kimpton hotels have been a lot of attitude with little service. But, at this Sofitel, which you could tell was super high class, the staff was kind and helpful. There was no attitude at all, only good humored, happy people. Everyone from the front desk to the restaurant staff was more than gracious.

My room was nice and looked out at the American Bar Association. I was only a couple of blocks from the White House, so that's what I did first thing upon arrival. Super close to both Metrorail as well as bus access.

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. The staff were without exception welcoming and friendly. The room was refreshingly modern and immaculate. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was well supplied and beautiful.

There were some downsides. The fridge contents had an electronic lock, so that if you removed anything, you would get charged. We had asked the front desk (twice) to empty it so we could put our own things in, but it didn’t happen, and we gave up. Also, the downtown location of the hotel allowed convenient access to the National Mall, but at night, the area was quite empty, and felt a little lonely. However, being only a block from the MacPherson Sq. metro stop meant one could go anywhere for livelier nightlife.

I paid $205 to 215 per night, which was an early-bird prepaid rate off their hotel website. Overall, I was pleased with my experience and would stay there again
