We were allowed to check in a few minutes early, which was a plus because we were exhausted from our drive and visit of a local museum in DC. The front desk clerk was very cheerful, welcoming, and knowledgeable. He informed my husband and I of all of the available amenities and he raved about the great free breakfast that we could take advantage of in the morning. Having experienced many hotels with very minimalistic continental breakfasts we were skeptical. To our delight, the breakfast was incredible and the staff made us feel right at home! We enjoyed our stay very much. The one thing that the hotel could do to make experiences better is to install easily adjustable registers on the air conditioner / heat vents. The vent in our room was positioned to blow directly on the bed and had no lever to easily redirect the airflow in a different direction. Outside of that, or stay was perfect.

Room was perfect. Clean, comfortable beds and very quiet. Only problem was one of the outlets next to the bed did not work so I could not charge my devices close by. There is a clock next to the bed but it’s so dark, you can’t see the time.

I booked this hotel through Travelocity. The $150 non-refundable pet fee was an unwelcome surprise. The front desk said it's clearly stated on the website, but that's not the case for Travelocity. I would not have stayed here if I thought the room cost would double with a pet. The only other hotel to charge a pet fee on my trip so far was $25. Taking a break from Residence Inn for a long while.
