Good Location, Restful Sleep, Great Service
"We visited DC from Baltimore for a short trip, to attend a holiday cookout at a friend’s and to visit the National museums. I chose this hotel because of its proximity to the L’Enfant metro station and the National Mall. The hotel was seemingly brand new. Modern decor, unblemished fixtures and hi tech fittings from the front desk to the room controls. We really enjoyed the cool lighting in the bathroom (you can change the color depending on your mood and it glows over the whole room) and the truly black out curtains for sleeping. The pillows were great!! Both by boyfriend and I have neck/shoulder issues and were pleasantly surprise at the supportive pillow options. Also, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the awesome bartender in the lobby bar. He was friendly and attentive in spite of managing a busy bar solo. We will definitely stay here again on our next “staycation” in our neighboring city, DC."
