On Tuesday, 4/15, Jose checked myself, my daughter and my two granddaughters in after a day of travel. He was a pure delight from the moment we approached the desk. He welcomed us personally and professionally with warmth and caring; taking extra time to give us all the information we would need to enjoy the hotel amenities. He escorted us to our beautiful room, explained the lighting and sent for two extra robes for the girls. He gave us a list of recommended restaurants with directions to get there. We were only sorry we could not say goodbye in person. Kudos to all!

Beautiful modern hotel with a very spacious room. Close enough to everything where we can explore DC and go back to the room to relax before going out again. Hotel staff were really nice. We could leave our car with the parking attendant in the front and text him when we were ready to go back out. A short walk to the corner and you could see the capital building

Loved the hotel, one night we had 2 separate disturbances outside of our door and I had to call security, the last night we were there our room wasn’t cleaned very well, trash in bath not dumped, toilet not cleaned and coffee supplies not replenished correctly, not what I expected after the money I paid for the room.

Very welcoming

We had a great time. The front desk staff was kind and let out kids select room key cards, which they loved. The hotel was very clean, the lobby, elevators, our room too. I noticed housekeeping out different times of day. They did a great job of keeping everything clean. The doorman held the doors, everyone smiled and it was very welcoming.
