We had an excellent stay for the weekend. We had two adjoining rooms which was the perfect set up for our family getaway. The property was very nice and all of the staff were friendly and wonderful!
The room was clean, more than spacious enough for me and my 3 friends, and we were able to find parking directly in the side of the hotel enabling us to see our car from our window. Not to mention the view was nice as well. The only downfall to me was that the ice and vending machine were in the basement.
We loved staying here. Front staff is very responsive via text moreso than phone call. However they do respond quickly. There is a charge to check in before 3:30 but we preferred to just get inside. The room was large and clean. They were very helpful with our service animal. We would stay again any time.
This is a great hotel to stay at. Staff were very respectful and understanding, room was clean and comfortable. Stayed for 3 nights this past weekend and I would definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Amenities
Linens for sofa were in pretty bad shape.
Maintenance was needed (light switch broken fixed with packing tape).
No shelves or drawers in the bathroom.
Furniture showed wear and tear.
Very spacious with kitchenette.
Very good location in high end area walking distance from Georgetown
Great location! Some confusion on checking in as no one at the front desk and no text message as with other Placemakr sights. Parking also not clear until we asked the front desk assistant

Good location
The communication from the hotel was good. We could not check in 2 hours early without pay additional money. The shower leak on the floor so bad that it took all the towels to dry thr floor. The hotel was told about it and said the would address it. They only gave us new towels. The shower had a lot of mold in it and you can tell it had been there for a while. The shower still leaked the next day. The heat stopped working the second day. Thank goodness it was not that cold outside. We told the staff and still was not working when we left.
The staff were nice and helpful with knowledge of the area.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Unacceptable stay accommodation
No air in room. Apparently front desk staff knew. When I gave the feedback was told “yes it’s an old building and that room only has heat”.
I couldn’t sleep. Was there for business meetings. Impacted my sleep exponentially.
Additionally, the room had a strong odor or body order and food. the sheets were also quite dirty and I had to flip them over.
I liked the apartment that has a kitchen and its utensils so you can cook something if you want, very quiet, my children and I felt calm in the area. I loved that it is close to everything there in the area, 6 minutes from the White House and the other attractions that most would like to explore.
