We stayed in this Sofitel recently for a wedding. The public areas were very nice, but the rooms were just ok. At $250 a night for a fairly small room, I definitely don't need to be charged $10 extra for wifi. I also don't need to be greeted with "bonjour" and "bonsoir, monsieur" in the US by every person in the hotel - it's horribly pretentious and off-putting.
Otherwise, the room was clean, everything worked, and the bed was ok; the heating/cooling system made an annoying noise, but just blended into the background after awhile. I'd probably shop around for another hotel the next time I go to DC.
