Wonderful experience from check-in to check out!

It was fabulous! All the employees were welcoming and very helpful! My room 345 was extremely clean and comfortable. The housekeepers were wonderful and friendly and my room was perfect every day! The restaurant next door was delicious and their staff always happy to see my friends and I! It was a wonderful experience for my first visit to Washington DC and I would be more than happy to recommend your hotel to my friends and I would love to stay there again on my next visit!

I do not like the charge for early check in. The room was ready. Why not make me happy? If it had not been ready, no problem. I was also annoyed that I was quoted a price and told the agent could cut it. This seemed like a cheap ploy.

From the moment we arrived the staff (valet, front desk, manager & assistant manager) made us feel very welcome. Even the woman from housekeeping whom we ran into near the elevator was so gracious to us. It's been a long time since we were greeted in the lobby by management as we arrived/departed. It was so welcoming.
