Hotels Near Sonny Bono Park in Washington D.C.

The room is good, it feels that the service does not match the hardware of the hotel, it seems that their front desk is more enthusiastic to serve whites! The small refrigerator is still locked, it is speechless, and I have lived in many high-end hotels. This situation is unique... Overall, the experience is not so good, it needs to be improved, there is no coffee machine in the room, the front desk says that the lobby is always available. However, after the first day of drinking, there was no more 😓😓😓😓😓 friends lived next to Hyatt, which is a good price.

My 1-week stay was comfortable and have little to complain. It was close enough to walk to the Washington Convention center. The free luggage storing service was greatly appreciated. I had a pest issue in my room but I think the hotel took care of it immediately. Cost-value was great.

What an amazing property!!!! The moment we pulled up to the property the stellar service and red carpet was rolled out! The door man Mohamed a true veteran and class act! He shared all of my options as a guest in reference to my parking and ultimately provided us with a reserved parking spot right in front of the building bravo bravo sir!!! The check in process was just as stellar with our friend Frank Poku he is all a guest service agent needs to be professional, courteous, with so much knowledge of the area and the property itself!!! The room was fantastic, clean, spacious, and a perfect location on a high floor. This will be our property of choice for every DC trip moving forward!!! tProfessional,

It feels very good and the location is very good. When I went to Washington for the first time, I chose many hotels, and finally chose this hotel, which did not disappoint my expectations.

You have to come to Infamy omg! it was so wonderful we had the best service ever from Donna, Luca, Iyana… we hung around for a few hours and had amazing cocktails and wonderful service, Chris the manager came over to offer us a last call at 1130 just to make sure we were happy the whole staff gives off excellent energy and really engages with us

The free breakfast and evening drinks were very satisfying. In particular, the omelettes cooked on the spot were very delicious. However, the pool did not seem to be maintained. The location was good for sightseeing, and there were many convenience stores and restaurants nearby, so it was very convenient.

In summary it’s a pleasant, very well-located hotel, and FOH staff work hard to keep customers happy. But poor fit and finish in rooms, chaotic housekeeping, billing issues, and slow customer support aren’t in keeping with the luxury positioning. In depth: Reception staff were superb: friendly, helpful, professional, and a surprise upgrade to a suite was most welcome. The restaurant is also very good and its staff, while occasionally overattentive, do a good job. Location couldn’t be much better for easy walks to a plethora of DC’s sights, museums, restaurants, shops, and transport. The rooms lack a luxury look and feel. They’re spacious and afford impressive views, but blandly and sp****ly furnished in a way that feels very cost conscious. Sound insulation is poor, to the extent that conversations and TVs in neighbouring rooms are clearly audible, as is street noise during peak times. Water pressure is extremely low, so the rain shower is rather more like soft drizzle . As with other Hilton hotels since the pandemic, there’s no minibar, no menus, no guest directory. It all feels rather spartan. Housekeeping is poor. Carpets and soft furnishings seemed grubby. The sofa, in particular, had several stains that looked like they could be removed if anyone cared to try. Clean glasses placed in the room had lip marks on the rim. Our coffee supplies were often not replenished. The second time we mentioned it, on returning to our room, we found two plastic bags stuffed with coffee, sugar, and cream dumped on the table — a distinct “here, stop bothering us” vibe. The breakfast, though very nice, is costly if you’re not getting the Food & Beverage Credit. There’s no end of alternatives nearby. There’s an obligatory 25% tip plus $5 delivery on room service. Laundry costs are such that I found it more cost effective to simply buy some extra clothes. Finally, our Food & Beverage Credit wasn’t applied to our bill. Hilton don’t answer replies to your receipt, so you have to fuss with corporate contact centres, chatbots and web forms. Took nearly a week to get a response, though to their credit they cleared our food bill as a goodwill gesture.

So, I booked this hotel when it was the Mandarin Oriental, and before I stayed it was taken over by Salamander. Honestly, other than a few slapdash items that said Salamander, you wouldn't have really known based on the ”stuff” around that this was anything other than a MO. That said, check in took 20 minutes, which is way too long for an average Monday evening. The room was fine, though no real ammenities in there (sure there was a robe and some unstamped slippers, but eh), the gym was fine, but no water anywhere on the floor nor any attendant to point out where to put used towels (no basket in the gym or outside area). The TV in my room also said ”This room has been checked out” from the minute I arrived until I left. I was able to change to normal channels, but that lack of detail that shouldn't exist at this price range. One other oddity - when I was going to my room (9th floor), there was a random chair in an otherwise empty hallway that had a different large man sitting in it each time I passed. Not sure if something was going on in one of the rooms or if they were some sort of private security, but it felt weird, to be totally honest. This is a great hotel location (near the Wharf) and it is unquestionably a really really nice hotel, but there are certainly some growing pains. I'd expect once they fix those, it'll be a really nice place to stay.

My spouse and I have been staying at the DC Capitol Hill for 10 years for work and pleasure because it's centrally located, friendly staff, and the rooms are spacious. And because Teresa at the front desk always goes out of her way to greet us, and chat. It's always a pleasure seeing her, and her beautiful smile. We stayed there recently for one night on August 17th, before driving to Southern MD to attend a family wedding on August 20th, 2022. The next morning Teresa greeted us in the lobby as we were headed to the restaurant for breakfast. We talked about one another's family and life. At checkout that morning we mentioned to her that we were returning on August 22, 2022, for one additional night before returning to Seattle, and could she block us a nice room. She asked us to call prior to returning to the hotel and she'd check availability. While driving back to DC. from Southern MD, I called the hotel and spoke with Darius Foster. During our conversation he informed me that Teresa was off today, and that he'd remembered us, and that he would block a nice room for us. When we arrived at the front desk Darius was very friendly, and he delivered on his promise. We travel a lot and we always stay at hotels where we feel appreciated, and valued as a customer. Thank you Teresa and Darius for always making us feel special when we stay at your hotel. We'll be back and we look forward to seeing you both.

The hotel is about a 5-minute walk from the National Assembly. The hotel facilities are very good. The room facilities are quite new. The front desk service is warm and patient with me who is not good at English. The hotel security saw me taking photos of the Congress not far away from the hotel entrance, and asked if I wanted to help take pictures. The Capitol area is very quiet after dark in Washington, with few pedestrians on the road. The nearest convenience store is about a 10-minute walk away, and there are restaurants nearby. There don't seem to be many, but the hotel has a restaurant that can serve meals. However, during the day, there are many tourists in this area and it is relatively lively. The price/performance ratio was very good when I checked in in January. I will stay at this hotel again if I have another chance.
