Bluemont Vacations from $254

Good location, nice room, Nespresso machine.

This is our first time staying here and it was a very pleasant experience!

The room decor is unique and focuses completely on the United States Naval Academy. Decorated with bright colors and memorabilia from the over 200 year old academy, it feels personal. The beds are very comfortable, the shower head has good pressure and there is a frig in each room. The Valet staff are very helpful and accommodating. The restaurant in the lobby serves delicious food but has a limited menu. The restaurant was closed for private parties 2 nights of my 5 night stay for private parties, which was quite inconvenient; a notification sent to each room would have permitted us to make other plans in advance. The front desk and restaurant are “cashless” so bring a selection of denominations for tips and small purchases. ATM in lobby. The one oddity of the hotel design is that the hotel is in a rectangular shape with all of rooms bordering the perimeter: the outermost rooms have windows that look outside but the innermost rooms around the perimeter have windows that overlook a ballroom/dining/entertainment area that can be loud in the evenings. 2 of my 4 pillowcases were ripped.

Staff is great. We love this hotel because it has plenty of self parking, so not having to wait for the valet to get your car every time saves a ton of time. The hotel is within the Gallaudet campus which is beautiful and feels very safe. The only issue we had were with the room itself. The furniture and fixtures are a bit dated/worn, though the beds are very comfortable. The sink drain was frozen in the bathroom, the toilet flusher was stuck. We managed to get around these things since we were only there one night and it would not deter us from coming again.
