9/10 Wonderful! (907 reviews)

This is a fabulous hotel in the heart of Adams Morgan. The property is upgraded, the restaurants are wonderful and there’s always a good vibe. RICARDO was Amazing! My tv locked up right at bedtime, I couldn’t turn it off and he came up to reset the tv. *if you want to be right next to a metro it’s not an ideal choice but the redline was only 10-15 minute walk and the green line is in walking distance
