Great hotel, big rooms!
I would definitely rate this hotel as excellent. The staff was great, the room is quite large and it was very quiet. The bed is very comfortable and I didn’t wake up a single time. Love the modern decor from the lamps to the tables, etc.
Overall an A+ experience!

Excellent hotel in a lovely neighborhood
The property was ideally located for getting around the city. There was a metro nearby and there were grocery stores nearby. The restaurant at the property was very good. Hotel staff were incredibly helpful and very personable. (The only thing missing were grab bars in the shower.) Overall, everything was excellent. I will definitely stay again in the future.

Excellent Hotel, highly recommend!
The staff was very kind, courteous and helpful and the room was spacious and very clean. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking if you wish to do so and there's a Keurig coffee maker with pods in the room. Excellent location close to the metro and walking distance to all conveniences - drugstores, groceries, restaurants. Looking forward to staying there again!

Spacious Room in Nice Neighborhood
Excellent location. We stayed in one of the roomy 1 bedroom apartments. We decided to stay one more night, last minute, and staff went out of their way to help us keep the same room. The neighborhood is very residential, quiet, and yet close walking distance to groceries and the national mall, as well as easy access to metro
