• Nice big walk in shower and a lot of tile and marble in the room.
• $36.50 per 24 hours of parking!

“The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. We very much enjoyed our stay there and would definitely stay there again. There was nice furniture in the room; however, a dresser would have been even better. Just be aware that everything is considered an upgrade for an additional $30.00 per night for each upgrade. For example, going from a king size bed to two double beds and getting a room with a view of the city would have been an additional $60.00 per night.”

• We were treated very special by every employee!
• Confusion in picking up our car from valet parking. Waited 45 min for our car.

“Beautiful, clean, elegant, friendly, spacious, romantic, accommodating, peaceful!”

• Lovely hotel.
• No pool.

“It was a lovely hotel but probably not one that I would recommend for families during the hot summer. Not having a pool was a minus, but overall the hotel was wonderful.”

• The breakfast was exceptional. We dined outside and found it to be very pleasant even though it was near the sidewalk.
• The carpet in the room was dirty in some areas.

“Although it appears to geared toward the business traveler (I was asked for a business card at check-in), we found the hotel to our liking for a short leisure visit. There is no pool for those who consider one a necessity. The location is excellent for walking to the White House and the National Mall and some very good nearby restaurants. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the concierge made good recommendations for restaurants within walking distance. Drinks were a bit pricey in the bar. My wife did say that her $14 blackberry margarita, made fresh, was excellent. Breakfast outside was a real treat - both the food and the setting.”

• Location was fabulous.
• Breakfast was mediocre at best.

“The furnishings and classy layout of the hotel are fantastic along with the extremely comfortable beds. However, room service did wake us up very early on the day of our departure to clean the room. The breakfast at the hotel was quite overpriced, even for hotel dining. They seemed ill equipped to handle cash transactions. The staff was very helpful.”

• It was nice and fully met our expectations of a 4-star hotel.
• The park next door was full of homeless people begging for money. Felt a bit unsafe when walking in the evenings.

“Overall, this was a great hotel experience. Would recommend this hotel to friends and family.”

• The room itself was excellent as was the location.
• The staff was disorganized.

“The staff made a huge mistake at the time of our check in and, promised to correct with a room upgrade and complimentarily valet parking for our stay. At the time of checkout, the staff and manager refused to honor their promise regarding valet parking and it took multiple attempts and much unnecessary efforts to get them to mostly live up to their promise. It really soured an otherwise excellent stay.”

• Convenience to Downtown DC.
• No closet space, small rooms for a so called 4 star.

“Definitely not a 4 star. The room didn't even get cleaned one day by 3pm.the furniture seemed old in the room and the carpet was old.”

• Excellent bathrooms and turndown service with free Evian bottles was nice.
• No view out of most windows.

“Excellent hotel with great doormen and front desk staff. Concierge was not the nicest or most knowledgeable as would be expected from a 4 star hotel. Bathrooms are extremely spacious. Excellent turndown service. There were no bags in our room for the ice bucket and the rooms are a bit dimly lit. Tube TV's are from a 2 star hotel rather than flat screen or plasmas as expected from a 4 star hotel.”

• Location, location, location. Excellent, close to every single attraction in DC.
• The only parking is valet and it is very expensive!

“Make sure to ask about alternative parking because the only available parking on the hotel is valet and it is 37 dollars a day, Other than that the location of this hotel is the best! two blocks away from the white house and a very safe area to walk around even at night.”

• Large rooms, tub and shower, pull out sofa, feather bed.
• Busy street, valet parking only.

“Very friendly staff and helpful too. Restaurant and lounge separate. Beds have soft down bed toppers and down comforters in a Duvee. Generous pillows in size and quantity. Huge bathroom with separate shower and tub and large vanity sink. Nice work desk with outlets for recharging all your devices. No free internet but it is available for $10/day and they have a t mobile hot spot if you have an account with them. Just blocks from the white house. Alarm clock with radio and dongle to attach an mp3 player or any audio device with a headset jack output. Lots of art work everywhere. Very clean rooms and lobby. Bath robe and slippers. Huge closets that are in a separate room off the bathroom and not visible from seating area. Couch and chair with coffee table. Small twilight reading lamps on each side of bed that came are aimed for reading without interrupting others in the room with bright lamps or room lights.”

• Luxurious, warm, professional, delightful!
• Housekeeping was a little light. Would have appreciated more linen without having to make requests.

“Luxurious, location, luscious! The lobby bar and little cafe were nothing short of lovely. The room was very nice, fabulous beds and bedding, great bathroom. Altogether great. But given a gloomy couple of November days in DC, it didn't matter. Be sure to keep the drapery closed or the building 20 feet away will know all your business!”

• Great location, great selection of complimentary newspapers, nice room.
• Internet should be free at such a property; I paid $10/day.

“The hotel is in a great location, and is luxurious. Staff was friendly. Good, strong coffee is available in the lobby in the morning.”

• Room was comfortable, nicely furnished and quiet.
• I would prefer the free newspaper to be a local paper rather than USA today.

“Enjoyed my stay and would stay again. The hotel is well situated, very comfortable and the staffs are professional and efficient. Close to metro and walk able to the mall area, white house, etc.”
