I really wanted to like this place more than I did. The housekeeping staff was excellent and gets major kudos for how clean everything was. The property is a in a good location however it’s the noisiest hotel ever. It’s next to a hospital which I didn’t realize so be prepared to hear ambulances throughout most of the day and night. In addition, the air conditioning in the room was so incredibly loud. It would wake us up every time it clicked on. But without it, it was too hot in the room. I’m not kidding when I say it sounded like a spaceship was landing inside the room. It was that loud. The front desk staff was never super warm or welcoming with the exception of one guy who mostly we saw at night. They also allow pets in the hotel, which is fine however, there was a dog that would bark incessantly in the room next to us for hours. The towels and linens were on the cheap side for this nightly rate. If you want slippers you have to ask the front desk for them rather than them just being in the room already. At the end of my checkout I had a $90 minibar charge on my bill- never once even opened the mini bar. The experience start to finish was that of a 3star hotel at best.

The property itself was outstanding. Room exceptionally clean, bed very comfortable. Staff were amazing. Director Justin Spraggs was amazing. Alice and Zak went above and beyond with anything we needed and guided us with helpful suggestions, etc. Everyone was smiling and made you feel like you belonged there. Manuel and others always there to open doors and assist with anything. Will be going back, even if only to experience this family like staff and beautiful room.

The hotel was pretty and clean, but had some technical issues. The Ac/heater kept us up at night because it kept making a loud noise. The automatic lights kept turning on when we moved in our sleep, and when talking to other guests they voiced the same issue. Overall the renovations payed off in terms of glamming up the hotel, but the technical issues remained.

It was a nice property. It did the job for a one night's day. Sometimes it could be a little annoying to walk around the circle and what felt like 20 crosswalks to get to the metro station. Other than that though it was pretty nice. I thought it was unique for a hotel to have a balcony in DC.
