Great location and ammenities

Almost everything was great. From room space, clealiness, staff service, to location of the hotel near public metro rail. Only one thing I would like to mention is to offer more more food options in the cocktail area. We wanted to stay in and not eat out but only one kind of pizza was available.

Good not great.

Parking was a challenge... four minute walk away and twenty five extra dollars and not in the best neighborhood. Walls were chipping paint but overall the room was clean.

Everything about our stay was AMAZING — service was truly 10/10 and made our anniversary feel special. The only downside was the shower, which was unfortunately a bit unpleasant, especially in the corners with some old dirt and hair. Since it was a special trip, I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, but I did want to mention it. Other than that, the experience was wonderful and the staff was incredible!
