Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms at the back of the buildings, providing a quiet and clean environment. The service is refreshingly friendly and accommodating, although there might be a wait for vehicle retrieval. The location is convenient for accessing Metro stations and enjoying a run along the Mall, with helpful staff members and close proximity to notable landmarks. Dining could be more personalized, with limitations on breakfast service. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service but some dining issues to consider.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The rooms were well-appointed with comfortable beds and nice sheets, but the noise from the housekeeping closet was extremely bothersome. The location was perfect for exploring Washington, being within walking distance of major attractions, but some parts around need attention. The service was typically welcoming and accommodating, creating a pleasant stay overall, despite a few issues. The dining options were varied, but there were some pricing inconsistencies that needed clarification.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were beautiful, well-kept, with the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, and the super sized bathroom with an awesome shower was a luxurious touch. The hotel's location could not have been better, being near Black Lives Matter Plaza and within walking distance to Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. However, the dining experience had a minor hiccup with surprising limitations on breakfast options. Overall, a great value for money with fantastic amenities and service.
The hotel's rooms had a mix of positives and negatives. While they were modern and clean, there was a strong smell of smoke and loud A/C noise. The design did give a warm feeling after a long day out. The service was friendly but had some issues. The location was perfect with easy access to many attractions. The dining experience had its faults but also some positives. The facilities overall were decent.
