The staff was so friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable (had bath robes and slippers), there were so many dining options on the street and within walking distance. We enjoyed running in the neighborhood to the National Mall and a long the river. We would definitely consider staying here again.

The rooms were very large which was nice. The pool and restaurant areas were nice as well. Quiet neighborhood. Walls were thin so it wasn’t as quiet as other hotels. We didn’t eat here, so can’t comment on the food. We chose this hotel because of its location to the res line, but unfortunately that location was closed during our trip, which was unfortunate.

Nice quiet hotel. Staff were very helpful. Rooms were big and comfortable. Area around the hotel was also nice. Only issues we had was with house keeping, they would make the beds and clean the toilets but for some reason they would not pick up anything from the floor.

Excellent location, safe, nice staff, cleanliness, Happy Hour menu at the restaurant. All good except that the room was not quite ready - frozen drink in the fridge & TV not working plus the issue with the bathroom door.
Bathroom door is hard to close, very tight fit, need to push hard to close and need to pull hard to open. See the next 6 pictures.
Same as above. Rusty and gross.
They tried to patch the crack, holes, damage, etc. but did a terrible job. The door needs to be replaced.
Bottom corner of door, really rotten and bad.

The room looked worn. In addition to the toilet being broken, the spa drain in the soaking tub did not come with directions and it was an adventure to find a working ice machine. However, the front desk person was professional and personable and the waitress at Certo was excellent, though the person who seated us was not very accommodating.

We had a pretty perfect stay. First of all, their pet policies are outstanding. We had a medium-sized pitbull, and not only do they not charge for pets, but they're our treats in the lobby and we felt very welcomed. The staff was also incredible, and helped whenever we needed it. We were able to get a late checkout without any charges, and when there was a fire alarm during our stay, they made sure that guests were kept updated. Finally, the room was huge compared to most other downtown DC hotel rooms. The tub was spacious and wonderful for a relaxing soak, and the beds were comfortable. We will absolutely be coming back!
