I was disappointed that the pool bar was never opened in the middle of summer. The only place to get drinks was at the front desk or the upscale bar attached to the hotel. Not sure why the pool bar or “art bar” was hardly ever open. Also, we got the boot at 630pm I believe it was, for a private party by the pool. They opened the bar for that, but not the regular guests. Disappointing.

Other sonestas in DC and Chicago are good
It’s a shame. This sonesta needs a renovation. It smells like decades old smoke… the bar hasn’t been cleaned in idk how long. The old fashioned and martinis were almost undrinkable. The worst was that there was ongoing construction non to Friday from 9 to 5… we were not notified when we checked in but even worse, there should have been a.disclaimer before even booking.

The staff is friendly. We arrived Friday morning. My boyfriend and I needed to work during the day, so we paid an extra $75 taxes to check in early. Only after we had paid were we told about the construction taking place in the garage. The noise from the construction was so loud we couldn’t work and went to the Business Center but it was just as loud in there. We ended up in the lobby and could have just sat there from the beginning. If we had known about the construction and noise level at first, we wouldn't have paid the fee. I feel cheated. The pool area was dirty. Food and paper around the chairs. And this is when it first opened. There was no cleaning done at all. Also, one evening there were chicken bones in the elevator and they were still there in the morning! I won't stay there again.
