The hotel is very clean. Close to the most important attractions in Washington. There was only one disappointing detail: the breakfast. They do not have enough space for all guests and the breakfast space is very crowded. Most people see the line and go to eat elsewhere. The poor ones spend about 20 minutes in the line, the see all tables taken and some eat in the reception area, some go back to their room or even eat on the floor. Often food is not enough for everybody, guest either need to wait more or just take what left.

Nice stay

The stay was comfortable, and we had easy access to different restaurants and shops. Walking to visit attractions from the hotel was super easy and if you don't want to walk there are several ebike options near the hotel. The parking situation was probably the most complicated thing about the stay. The valet was not very helpful upon arrival. The hotel was clean and served a nice breakfast in the morning.
