Room was cramped. My wife and I either had to sit on the bed, which we had to crawl over each other to get on and off, or shuffle around each other to move around the room. The breakfast buffet was AMAZING! The selection and quality of the food was well worth the money.

This hotel is very clean and modern. The lobby host two living areas equipped with a lot of seating and tvs for easy communal gathering. The rooms are very clean and modern with mostly everything being controlled by an iPad. The room has enough space to fit one comfortably and maybe two with a bit of a squeeze. Walkable to The Wharf area (about 8-10 mins) which has an endless amount of dinning and activities and the water taxi which takes you to VA or National Harbor.

The property was very clean and had an eclectic vibe to it. The staff were very friendly and always available to help in any way. My room was clean and I enjoyed that many things like lights, heat and the TV could be operated by the iPad provided in the room.
