The room was clean and bed very comfortable. Tiny bathroom. Could hear someone cough a few times which made me think that if people were noisy it would be heard. We had no noise though. Breakfast very good. Pleasant staff. Not fancy but suitable for a place to safely and comfortably lay your head. We stayed one night.

No one came to fix our AC even after we notified the front desk. The first room we were put in REEKED of cigarette smoke even though it was labeled a non-smoking room.

It was nice to see familiar faces at check-in. We visit every year and the fact that the hotel has retained good staff is important. My room request was honored (away from elevator and ice/vending and courtyard facing). Room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was good. Shout out to the lovely ladies that assist with breakfast - they are so kind! Location is ideal for exploring DC and beyond as well as being close to dining options.
