Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
My stay at the hotel was delightful! The rooms were large and very comfortable, although the torn wallpaper next to the door was a bit of an eyesore. Being on the top floor with a porthole window was a unique touch. The amenities like tea and coffee facilities, free wifi, and an incredibly cozy bed made my stay truly enjoyable.
The hotel is situated in a prime location in Washington, allowing easy access to major attractions. The rooms, while clean, felt a bit empty, especially for a single female traveler. The service was exceptional, with a welcoming and accommodating staff. Dining options were a bit scarce and overpriced, but the hotel's facilities were satisfactory.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were very quiet and decent, but they could use a makeover. The noisy coffee maker was disturbing on some nights. The service by the staff was pleasant and very helpful, with spotless and updated traditional features. The location was convenient for walking to various attractions, including the Smithsonian and Ocean Prime nearby. However, the dining options were a bit expensive. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with a few drawbacks to consider.
The hotel is undergoing reconstruction. Despite having only porthole windows situated 10 feet high, the rooms were remarkably quiet, spacious, and clean. The service provided was exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure a secure and comfortable stay. The location is ideal for both sightseeing and accessing nearby attractions. The dining experience was enjoyable, although with limited options.
