Clean and convenient to the metro. Each room has a mini fridge and plenty of storage for your things. There's also a bunch of refrigerated grab-and-go breakfast, lunch, and snack foods for sale in the lobby and an eating area. Board games are available if you want to hang out there, too. Valet parking is available but it was almost the same price per day as the total for three days at a nearby garage, so we parked there instead. Overall, it was a great stay, but there was a major con... there's no way to truly control the temperature in your room. Climate control is centrally managed and only the A/C was available. Consequently, it was 58 degrees in our room at night and 65 during the day even though we had the thermostat set to 70. Much cooler than we would have liked!

Nice hotel
The bed was comfortable, sheets & towels were clean, plenty of room. The hotel was newly renovated from an old building, but everything worked well. It was convenient as it was very close to Metro station and GW for us. Choice of restaurants was limited within 5-min walk, but you can find anything & everything when you walk 10-20min. It was our first no-cash hotel (for buying drink & snack).

I like the style of the hotel. It was a boutique vibe. I like how close it was to the train. The dining options were good. The only problem I had was my key didn’t work when I first checked in after a long travel day. I went down to try and resolve it and they gave me another key that also didn’t work. Went back down and said someone must come up with me I will not be coming back down again. The Maitenance man went up with me and finally fixed the card. I got a free ginger ale for the hassle and that made me happy. The front desk clerks were nice and welcoming. The room was a good size, the air conditioning worked very well. There was a heat wave when I stayed so I was very pleased that the air worked so well. The mattress was very comfortable. The shower pressure was good and I loved the vanity area. I had enough space for all of my makeup and jewelry. I got everything I needed from this stay! If I ever have to be in DC area for business again this is where I will stay.

I had an extremely disappointing stay at this hotel. Upon checking in, I found a stain (that looked like blood) on the sheets, and to my shock, housekeeping didn’t change the sheets—they just folded them back! When I called to address this, they informed me that their service was closed for the night, so I had to change the sheets myself. To make matters worse, they also failed to take out the trash, leaving it in the bathroom. This level of carelessness and lack of hygiene is unacceptable, and it completely ruined my stay. I expected better and wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone.
