5 / 5 Excellent

This is a very nice hotel in a popular area. The only problem I had with this hotel was not having a coffee/tea service in the room. However, there was fresh coffee in the lobby and a wonderful hot breakfast. If you use a GPS to get to this hotel, make sure you include the entire street address: 1785 11th Street NW. If you don’t include the NW, you will end up in a nearby housing development.
