Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were beautifully designed with high-end fixtures and granite bathrooms, offering a spacious and clean environment. However, there were some issues with the electrical plugs and TV in the room. On the downside, I had a frustrating encounter with the valet attendant who tried to overcharge me for overnight parking after only two hours on the property.
I stayed in room 1026 with a beautiful view and it was beyond expectation. The hotel has an excellent location and the style of the rooms is perfect. Though I had to travel to a lot of places, the area was quiet and safe. The dining experience was excellent in the restaurant. The only downside was being charged for overnight parking, but the service was incredibly kind and helpful.
The hotel is ideally located near several attractions in DC and offers friendly service. However, the rooms were below expectations regarding amenities. The dining experience, while indulgent, took too long and lacked value for money.
