The mattress was very comfortable. The room was spacious. The blow dryer was dirty and our mini fridge wasn't cold enough. I liked the fitness room.

Staff was super nice and accommodating. Had 2 rooms and the thermostat wouldn't work in either room and the fridge in one room wasn't working, but aside from those small things, it's a very nice property

It was very disappointing to find our very hot room had no air conditioning. Even more to find the building has All Heat, All AC or Neither and we were in the neither season. We were relocated to a new room that "tends to be cooler" but ultimately we had to regulate the temperature by opening and closing the window. This was especially difficult since it was in the low 40s over night so we would have to adjust them closed in the middle of the night.

Perfect location between Georgetown and Foggy Bottom. So walkable, and tons of options for shopping and eating. It was very easy to get to the Foggy Bottom Metro, Ubers were plentiful, and we also walked to the Lincoln Memorial one day. The hotel is nicely appointed and the communication from management was impeccable. Mobile key was easy to use. Only small improvement would be to update the bathrooms, but all was clean and comfortable.

Great location--easily walkable area and very short walk to the metro. Good restaurants nearby. It's an older hotel so the rooms are smaller and some improvements could be made, but overall a good stay. I recommend it.

The room was clean but it is old. The area is very walkable and there are many spots to grab a bite to eat. This hotel is very close to the National Mall. The bathroom is outdated and needs to be redone. The tiles were stained and the sink was cracked. I had to use earplugs because they are in a very busy area. There is no parking within a reasonable distance so expect that, the drop-off/check-in area was double-stacked when we arrived. I had to park in the bus lane. The young lady working the bar in the evening was absolutely wonderful. I understand the historical fees attached to such an establishment but they should be upfront about the prices, I didn't appreciate having an additional bill slid under my door after the first night. I will not be using this hotel the next time I stay in the Capitol.

The music piped onto the street was so loud it was offensive. Certain leaders were talented and other poor in skill and communication. We were given a room that wasn’t ready and then moved. Lastly, the air conditioning wasn’t working correctly and we sweated through the night. Not worth the price.

This was a lovely hotel. The lobby is beautiful. I found it strange that there was no ramp up to the elevators. (Just thinking of those were very heavy suitcases having to walk up three steps.) My only complaint is it was so hot in the hotel. we had to keep our window open the whole time - the frigid air blowing in was much more tolerable than the sauna like conditions in the room.
