Clean room, $12 credit a day we could use in the restaurant, and staff was very kind and accommodating. This is our second time staying here and it feels like home away from our home. We love it.
Outstanding guest services. All the amenities, plus the little extra perks included is the nain reason why I choose this particular hotel to stay in when in D.C more than once.
This was a lovely stay. My room was nice and clean. The staff is very friendly. Its walking distance from Union station (about 5mins-7mins). The restaurant has happy hour from 3pm-6pm. I will be returning to stay again. Thank you for a wonderful visit!
