The check in was quick and efficient, underground parking overnight for a reasonable fee was convenient. Our room was spacious and fresh. Proximity to Byward Market is a huge plus and offers lot of eating options; the pool and gym were nice and clean. Breakfast though offers limited options but is good enough to get you started for the day. Great experience.
