First, I had to wait to check in, like really wait like 30 minutes. When I called to figure out where to park, nobody could give me directions. Then they have hidden fees, which I can understand a security deposit of $50, but a parking fee? I got charged a $47.50 parking fee for secure parking in their garage, and couldn’t even park in there. I had to park somewhere else and still got charged the $47.50.

The 47.20 (Cost for parking which includes taxes/in and out privileges) was billed upon your request to park in the garage at the hotel. I have emailed you to ask about why you could not access the garage.

Quirky decor that fits in with a DC visit. Cute alcoves for studying or working, the lobby as a coffee shop and a bar!
