“Lafayette Square split”
Steps from the White House with Lincoln Memorial, Capitol and museums walkable, Sofitel Lafayette Square Washington DC divides opinion. Positives: an excellent liked location, clean tidy spacious rooms matching photos with Balmain amenities, a good restaurant, decent breakfast with nice black coffee and great service. A severe dissent though: beyond an okay breakfast one guest found nothing recommendable — visibly old facilities, an ordinary suite below five-star level, a five-hour early-arrival wait to 2:30pm with no proactive help, and a stiff robotic insistence that suites carry no special treatment.
