Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located right off the highway, not far from Washington DC. It is perfect for business travelers staying a couple of days, close to restaurants and the metro. However, the dining experience was disappointing with almost warm food and lackluster options for breakfast.
Our stay at the hotel was pretty good overall. The rooms were nice and clean, providing a comfortable area for our group to rest after our excursion into the many memorable sights of our nation's capital. The service was very helpful, especially when asking for directions to the metro. The location was convenient, allowing easy access to highways, the metro, and local shops and restaurants. The dining experience, while not included, was fairly okay. However, we did encounter an unpleasant odor in the room, and we might consider upgrading to a larger suite next time if the price is right.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was clean and comfortable, though the temperature was a bit too high at 80 degreesF. The morning surprise of extra charges for parking and breakfast was disappointing, especially considering the lackluster buffet. However, the bed was cozy, and the street view from the room was decent.
