My weekend stay in Washington D.C was just a fun getaway for me and the Mr! I would say the front staff are very helpful the extra pay in hotel fees are ridiculous but i understand inflation and where we are located! Luckily parking on the street was free that weekend so we had no problems packing on the street the hotel is pretty clean the room smelled pretty good the pillows on the bed look big and firm but you completely melt into them that was definitely the best part of the trip!!!

The property was clean and the staff was very friendly. The pool was closed which was very disappointing. We were only given 2 coffee pods per day even though we asked for more- we didn’t want the decaf or the tea. Also - $53 per day to park the car was ridiculous.
