Very nice hotel in a very convenient location. However, the room attendant and restaurant/bar staff were not attentive, long waits and food quality suspect.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Room clean and very comfortable - very nice hotel. Will definitely return and definitely recommend.
The staff was friendly and welcoming to our family even with a late arrival. Our room was beautiful and spacious for the four of us. The location is perfect for exploring the city and the museums. We will stay there again! Thank you for a wonderful experience.
This is a very nice property close to attractions and residential parts of D.C. , which worked for us since we were visiting our adult children living close by. Great place to come to after a whole day out and about.
