I had an unpleasant stay at this hotel. We had to call multiple times for a plumber to unclog the toilet, and every time they took forever to respond. The bed was not made properly; it looked like someone just threw the blanket on and took a nap. The TV is old, only has about 20 channels, and isn't a smart TV, plus it was very dark. The thermostat was locked, and it got really hot at night with no way to adjust it. The only positive was its proximity to the National Mall and that it's within walking distance of most attractions. Unfortunately, I won't be staying here again.

Dining at the 21st Amendment was terrible. The special was an herb roasted chicken. When it arrived it looked like a tiny Cornish hen cut in half and over cooked. When we complained about the size we were told that they are small chickens. They eventually brought out more pieces and removed it from our bill. The bar servers were overwhelmed and they didn’t seem to know how to tend a bar.

The people were very friendly and helpful! The location is great, in between the Capitol and the Tidal Basin and near a Metro stop. The only downside is the loud train that runs by, blaring horns at 6:00 am every morning. The room was large and well appointed but could use an update on the mattresses soon.

Everything was great with the exception of the thermostat to control the temperature in our room. It didn't work so the AC was on constantly freezing us out without the ability to control it with the non functional thermostat. When we called the front desk they immediately sent someone but his solution was to take the cover off the thermostat which turned it off completely. So, it was either full blast uncontrollable AC or no air circulation at all. I recommend getting it fixed properly so the temperature can be regulated. Other than that, it was clean, quiet, daily housekeeping and comfortable. The location made it great for sightseeing and there was always taxi service available at the door when we got tired of walking. Overall, a very pleasant stay.
