Two things about this room were issues we have never encountered in a hotel room, and they significantly disrupted our sleep. First, there was no blackout curtain above the AC unit, so the room had an orange light throughout the night from the outside streetlights. Secondly, both of the queen beds squeaked on their frames when we moved. This kept two out of the three of us awake many times -- our 18 year old slept right through it, not unsurprisingly. There were only two bath towels in a room with two queen beds -- there should have been two more available in the room. It's a shame because the hotel itself was quite nice, the room was very clean and quiet, the decor was great, and the area also very good. We booked this for a visit to American University and it was convenient for that location, and Georgetown was even closer.

The staff was friendly. The hotel was far too warm, and the room was very small for two people. The hotel restaurant stopped serving food at about ten, which was inconvenient. Overall, you can't beat the location, and the room did its job. I would definitely book again
