No microwave, no breakfast included, noisy AC, dirty and worn-out carpet, no channel on TV, fridge outer wood door rubbing carpet, table in between bed drawers open itself—worst experience. Expedia needs to work with hotels to show the available services. Feel scammed by Expedia

Property in desperate need of refurbishment! The first room I was given was spacious however the carpet had a large ugly stain and overall looked dingy. The front desk staff promptly changed me to another room upon request. The second room didn’t have a huge stain on the carpet but still seemed a bit dark and dingy. The AC unit was extremely loud which I did not like. I would not stay here again .

I stayed just one night at this property during a rest stop on our road trip. By the time we checked into the hotel, it was almost dinner so we ate at the restaurant at the hotel. My kids were excited to go in the rooftop pool, but to our dismay after they changed into their swimsuits after dinner, the pool had closed. They closed at 8pm. They didn't open until 10am the next morning. And checkout is at 11am. During the time that they were in the pool, the lifeguard took a break, so everyone needed to get out of the pool until he returned. With limited time, I found this ridiculous.

Fabulous location for visiting the National Mall! This property is within easy walking distance to the Capitol building, Air and Space Museum, Museum of Natural History, and Botanical Gardens. There is a metro subway station L'Enfant Plaza only about a block away that can take you all over to other sites. It is about $2.25 per ride. The parking here is very good with underground parking with in/out privileges. The rooftop pool is very good but is only open from 10am to 8pm. I wish they had a microwave in the rooms but there are mini-fridges in the rooms. I would stay here again.
