We spent a few days at the Sofitel DC in 2019, and this time we both noticed a decline in cleanliness. The hotel is nice, but could use some general updating and a focus on overall cleanliness. We had a nice stay and the staff was accommodating. Next visit to DC, however, may have us looking for another hotel, we are sad to say
