A motel with modern features
The property wants to go over modern luxury but the only thing that is modern is the room. Sometimes to modern is a bad thing. There is no service besides valet and maintenance. For there suites living conditions was basic. They have a restaurant that is only open for 5 hours a day. They don’t serve breakfast and they mini bar is only inviting for drunks or individuals who like over priced water. The bathroom was nice but taking a shower was one of the worst experiences I had in my life. You had to be extremely flexible to even enter the shower but the water temperatures go from extreme cold to warm. You basically have to stand in one spot to take a shower no moving around is allowed.

Loved the Juliet Suite! The staff was great, the room was perfectly clean housekeeping came and the shower and ropes …YES! Xo The art work, the fire pits, and the gym was all I wanted for a short bday trip. Parking- we did not pay for valet $$ we parked around the corner …yes it says only 2 hours but thankfully we got lucky the next morning with no ticket lol. DC was an easy 20 min drive, amazing food and drinks. It is on our list when we visit again

I recently stayed 2 times at this property and everyone there was friendly and curious. The last visit, my daughter accidentally left 2 very important pieces of jewelry in our room when we checked out. They were quickly recovered and returned to us. This is an exceptional example of the integrity of the team that makes this hotel special.
