One of the biggest hotel rooms I've ever stayed in outside of Vegas. Very good surprise, especially when city hotel rooms tend to be smaller. Fun design elementsin the room, nice Speakman showerhead, with good water pressure. Citrus scented bathroom amenities. Great location in Dupont with lots of restaurants around. Bravo, Royal Sonesta on a great stay!

The price for the area can’t be beat! It was noisy at times from neighbors blasting music, but the room was kept very clean and supplied well. The staff was dressed nicely and were nice. I would absolutely stay here again.

Loved how spacious the studio rooms are and so close to so many great restaurants

1-night trip

8/10

The room was clean and comfortable. Plenty of towels, which I like. When I checked in, the person at the desk could not clearly explain why I was charged $200 over the pre-set room rate (refundable deposit, minus "activity fee" and room charges). Also, the $15 credit to the restaurant is a joke, since breakfast cost $50 ($6 for coffee? really? youre not The Ritz). Even with the credit, it would have been much cheaper to go the bagel store across the street or Le Pain Quotidien up the block.

Great location, very clean and safe.

4-night trip

6/10

I arrive at the hotel at 1230pm. Apparently check in was not until 4pm. I travel a lot and never had to wait so long to get into room. Luckily I had an association who had checked the day before so i was able to store my luggage with him. I didn't get into my room until 4pm..extremely weary from the morning's travel. At the price point this hotel charges I expected much more in terms of accommodation. Definitely not planning a return stay.
