Summary of reviews
Guests say
The hotel's location is highly praised by guests, being close to attractions like museums and restaurants, with many mentioning its convenience. While the service, including friendly staff and early check-in options, was noted positively, there were significant concerns regarding room cleanliness and persistent odors, particularly of bleach and mildew. Noise disturbances from thin walls and hallway traffic also detracted from the overall experience, along with complaints about the high cost of valet parking.AI-generated from customer reviews

Pros (+) Location is great, bar / restaurant was convenient
Cons (-) I'm not sure whether it was just my room being located at the end of a hallway or in a corner, but the noise coming from the hallway was significantly loud in my room. Also, the walls seemed *really* thin, as I could hear the conversations of the people in the room next to mine pretty clearly. I had to use a white noise app on my phone to drown it out so I could get some sleep.
Pros (+) Very close proximity to the Walter E. Washington Convention Centre
Pros (+) Location
Cons (-) Room was dark and a neighbor had a very loud party going on. Security couldn’t do anything and our kids were awake until 2am
Pros (+) Very good amenities in room for charging phones, tablets, computers, etc. Very clean and well maintained. Staff was very friendly and helpful
Cons (-) Starbucks is right in the lobby. But allow extra time as their service is considerably slower than typical of Starbucks
Pros (+) Very friendly staff!
Cons (-) Watch the charges. Some claim "free" or complimentary but they aren't. Also the front desk wasn't staffed well for a busy weekend of a large charity function. Longer than expected wait times to check-in and out especially.
Pros (+) I liked the location
Cons (-) Facilities, it is expensive for what they offer
Pros (+) First class location and facilities
Cons (-) Expensive
Pros (+) Friendly staff. Citrus water in lobby refreshing Great interior design/decor Location
