First off we couldn’t sleep because the train was right outside our window. There was in ink pen in our sheets when we turned the bed down. Or tv didn’t work and the air condition sound like an airplane taking off. When I asked the lady downstairs if someone could look at it she replied with we don’t have time. Worst place I have ever stayed at. She said I would give you some money back but you booked with a third party so that’s the price you pay. I couldn’t believe how rude.

This is a GREAT location to all the monuments, museums, the National Mall (our favorite!) & just taking a nice walk. It's also a short ride from Union Station. The staff is extremely friendly & helpful. The only downside (but not so much for us) is that there aren't a lot of dining or bar options to walk to if that's what you're into.

The staff was great and very accommodating. The rooms were clean but the building is old and needs to be updated! The amenities were ok. What we liked the best was the bar and grill. The selection was amazing and food was very good!! The waiters were efficient and friendly! We were there for the inauguration and received gifts like a Trump hat, pin, pen, thermal gloves and hand warmers…that made our stay even better! We would definitely stay there again! Unfortunately, we couldn’t see the sights because of the cold! Thank you to management and staff!!

The location for this property is hard to beat. It's close to the Metro and with walking distance of many major sites. The facility was a little older, but well taken care of and clean. My one complaint was that the bed/pillows were very uncomfortable. But that was a small trade off that was definitely outweighed by everything else.
