Rooms were clean, and the staff was polite and helpful. Our room was a little warm and humid. We told the front desk and they gave us a fan for the room and that was a lifesaver. The pool was a great place to cool off after being at the national mall all day. My only real complaint would be that there was no ice bucket in the room and nowhere to get ice. Other than that, it was an amazing stay.

The hotel room was spacious and clean. The location was great and I had a great salad at the hotel restaurant. The hard part was that the hotel changed over from the Generator Hotel to the Rendale Hotel with new management during the weekend that I stayed there. There was confusion.

I found the bed and bedding comfortable and the shower quite good! Hot water came up to the 9 th floor sink & shower quickly and consistently. Drinking glasses and a coffee maker were missed items, typically found in hotel rooms at this price point. The lobby is bright and welcoming but the decor of the hallway leading to my room was sort of dark and dreary and could use some brightening up. Overall, a good convenient choice.

I arrived at the front desk and was given a key that did now work. Had to get down and get a working one. Was charged $30 extra at checkin for nothing. The room was at 81 F! Had to go down again and ask for someone to come up and turn on the A/C. There was no regular bed in the room, 4 bunkbeds!!! Location of the hotel is great.
