I spent quite some time prior to my trip attempting to decide where to stay as I would only be in DC for one night. And decided on this place because it gave the allure of being quite fancy given the high price they were charging per night, and based on recent reviews, I took the bait. Obviously, people rated this not based on being qualified travelers, but the location being a good spot, I guess. Although far from any monument or historical places of interest.The guy at the front desk was not professional enough to greet incoming customers. And the room which faced an apartment building ever so near was very disappointing. Thus, there was no view whatsoever and I had to ensure curtains were drawn as to prevent anyone from the other building casually looking at me in my hotel room. Then there was advertisement of the hotel having a restaurant, Cuban none other. Great news for me as I surely assumed the place would have delicious Cuban coffee. The restaurant was practically in the basement and to my surprise, did not serve coffee! I was treated poorly by the waiter who immediately told me that I could not order anything from the menu because Brunch was over and dinner would not begin till 2 hours later. Bewildered why he did not tell me all this prior to sitting me on an uncomfortable bench. It was then that I asked for coffee and then when I was told that a Cuban restaurant in DC did not have coffee!
I should have gone with my gut and stayed near Union Station.
