The breakfast room was ok. It was noisy - the woman cleaning off the tables was loud. The faucet in the bathroom was slow. They seemed in a hurry to rush us out the day we left.

The staff was stellar! However, no towel racks in the bathroom was difficult, because we were unable to hang up wet towels. The housekeeping staff was also really helpful and accessible.

Wanda at the front desk was very welcoming and helpful. The hotel doesn't have a restaurant and the complimentary breakfast is substandard. Glad food delivery was available. There isnt much in the immediate area that is available unless you have a car. Going forward I won't be staying as I prefer being closer to downtown DC

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities

It was okay.

There was a lot of noise during the evening coming from the outdoor seating near the lobby. People talking and laughing all night long. Breakfast was limited and we were told on a couple of the days that they completely ran out of some items, leaving only bread w/o butter and coffee. We had difficulties with our room keys and one never worked at all. The floors in the room were pretty dirty and there were a lot of chips and cracks in the furniture and shower. The room was always made up nice and supplies replenished when we would return at night. The staff was unprofessional and unhelpful. Often spoke down and fought with guests, super unwilling to be helpful, unfortunately. The room served its purpose as just some place for us to store our luggage and rest while we explore the city, though it would’ve been nice to know we were coming back to a comfortable and quiet space to get good rest.

Multiple people tried getting into our room when my wife and daughter were there alone while I was unloading the car between the hours of 9:30-11 pm. A man was screaming the morning we left and arguing with the front desk while I was holding my daughter. They couldn’t find our reservation for 20 minutes while our daughter was exhausted from traveling all day and fussy. Alarm was going off the entire night in one of the rooms near us and got hardly any sleep. Front desk was not unfriendly but the overall stay was very unsafe and unpleasant.
