We had a pretty perfect stay. First of all, their pet policies are outstanding. We had a medium-sized pitbull, and not only do they not charge for pets, but they're our treats in the lobby and we felt very welcomed. The staff was also incredible, and helped whenever we needed it. We were able to get a late checkout without any charges, and when there was a fire alarm during our stay, they made sure that guests were kept updated. Finally, the room was huge compared to most other downtown DC hotel rooms. The tub was spacious and wonderful for a relaxing soak, and the beds were comfortable. We will absolutely be coming back!

The light in the room flickered the entire time everytime you used it. There weren’t any main lights in the room only lamps which made it very dim. Other than that the room was nice. You get robbed on a destination charge & parking on top of the hotel price. It was close to $800 for 3 nights and an additional $375 for everything else. Then tips on the valet as well. I would have rather the holiday inn inside of DC

Hotel is much older than it looks in pictures, elevators were out of order most of the weekend sometimes with only one was working (took forever), one night a massive leak sprung in our bathroom ceiling around 3 am and poured water down for a couple hours which kept us up and soaked everything in and around the bathroom (and no concierge was there to help so had to deal with it ourselves), then the hotel would only refund me $50. Breakfast service was incredibly slow. For how expensive the hotel is, it is dingy and critically understaffed.

The restrooms didn’t have a fan and felt super muggy. The rooms we saw online were different than what we got and the carpet looked dirty. Room service was fast and on time. Appreciated the accommodation to get our unit earlier than the check in time.
