8.2/10 Very Good! (2,372 reviews)

We were on a quick family trip in DC. We enjoyed that the hotel was very close to Union Station and to the Capital. The room itself was clean and I was pleasantly surprised that they clean the rooms every day. We had plenty of towels. The bed was most enjoyable and very comfortable, better than my bed at home. The food at the restaurant was excellent! I highly recommend the steak eggrolls. We would love to come and stay again.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,483 reviews)

Had high hopes for this new to me hotel. Sadly for the price I didn't see the value: walls were thin; black out shades were not cut to size leaving large gaps for light; coffee pot was broken; electrical sockets didn't work - leaving my phone uncharged and me on short power for a very long day in the city; promises of an Arlo yoga mat went unfulfilled when the house keeping member handed me additional coffee pods and said "we don't have the mats." There's great potential, but not sure I'll return given the multiple shortcomings.
