I wasn’t pleased with how things went with the mishap via Expedia in the rooms. I wasn’t happy about having to pay an additional $40 for an upgrade due to Expedia miss hat with the room, I wasn’t happy about the rooms themselves at this location, while the common areas and the restaurants on site are great I just wouldn’t stay here anymore. Location is amazing.

Decent place, great area!

Stay was decent, and area was pretty central to everything! The first room we received was spacious, but we had issues with the TV cutting of and on top of that, only one outlet worked. When attempting to freshen up, we noticed there was no hot water in the sink. We informed the front desk and they were apologetic while moving us to a new room. The new room was smaller, but TV and outlets did work. Unfortunately, our keys stopped working for the new room on several occasions. When trying to inform the front desk, we noticed a lobby full of people with no one there to greet them. One of the guests told us they had been there for an hour waiting for someone to return. Kudos to the manager Adam for stepping in and getting everyone taken care of, but we still had key issues until checkout. Also, the Asian restaurant was not open the entire duration of our stay, but Treehouse and staff were very personable. Shout out to the gentleman with the dreads (we forgot your name, sorry!) for turning our experience around.

This hotel was perfect for a quick night stay. We stayed here just passing through DC for the night. The hotel walls were super thin so you can hear everything going on in the room next door. Cleanliness was okay. Towels were old and ripped. The staff was extremely nice and friendly.

Wall are so thin I could hear everything next door. Entire conversations, TV and when neighbors got loud at 1am after a night out it was just unbearable. Got no sleep! Water pressure in shower was literally dripping. No control over room temperature at all.. thermostat not working. Overall miserable stay!

The hotel itself is beautiful and comfortable. However, they will scam you out of your money if you pay for early check in. They also do not have clear instructions on where to park since there is limited parking. They told me to go through a parking app and it did not give me the option for the closest garage, but rather one that was miles away claiming it was a 5 minute walk. Lastly, the walls are thin and sounds echo through the vents. Although the employees came to handle the loud guests it wasn’t long before they were loud again. Could not sleep. Just make sure you plan accordingly if this is where you choose to stay.
