Ways to up comfort

Please address 1) Mosquito control at the pool - bug repellent given by front desk IS appreciated, but electric bug zapper would be the better answer 2) Sanitizer dispenser in lobby - why is it empty?

This place is a complete joke. Calling or talking to the staff gets you nowhere—they don’t solve problems, they just deflect. On top of that, the price gouging is unreal. I ended up paying for 4 days here what I could have paid for 7 full days across the street at the Hilton, where they actually honor their deals and treat people fairly. They refuse to honor advertised prices, tack on hidden fees for things you don’t need or want, and then tell you to “call the people who referenced us” instead of taking responsibility. I even watched another guest go through the exact same mess, so this isn’t just bad luck—it’s how they operate. It’s sad this hotel gets recommended. When you finally arrive, you realize everything isn’t what it seems. Next time, my money goes to Hilton.

Definitely a nice stay. Clean and staff was helpful. Parking was very tight but safe. Nice to have pool and refresh service if requested. Room is clean and comfortable and shower was incredible. Nice facilities. Clients were definitely a younger crowd---college students, etc. They could be a bit loud but overall no complaints. We did not use dining service or bar but it looked like many did and they had repeat customers. Great price point! Clean rooms--nicely renovated! Centrally located. But not an adult weekend get away unless your plan is to sleep and go site seeing or hang out with friends/family who live in DC.
