The room was clean. But The toilet in the bathroom was back flowing every time when the upstairs is flushing. The sewage water splashing out everywhere. And AC was very old and loud, could not sleep well. Very disappointed.

Good for what we needed

We went for a fundraiser gala and it was our first time in DC so we brought along kids and parents to sightsee and got two adjacent rooms. Upon arrival we were greeted quickly and the check in was smooth. We opted for garage parking which was about $53 per night and the garage was accessed via a very narrow alley behind the property. If you have a large vehicle it would be impossible to access and even maneuver inside the garage - it's very narrow. Luckily, we could access the elevator to our floor right from the garage. We were on the 6th floor and it looked liked something flooded the hallway because there were large fans drying the carpet. Of course, this meant that the hallway was damp and smelled musty. We got to our adjoining rooms and realized that one of the doors that opened into the rooms was painted over and took some significant pushing and prying to finally open. That just seems like really sloppy and inattentive maintenance work. The rooms themselves were comfortable and clean upon arrival. The next day when we were leaving, we did call to let housekeeping know that we were heading out and wanted to have the room serviced. We returned back about three hours later and found the rooms had not been serviced. They finally arrived closer to the evening and we let them know that we did not want to have the room service at that point. Overall, most of the service was good with the exception of the housekeeping issue, and my kids appreciated the Johnny rockets

Top floor may not be the best floor!

The service was excellent. Staff is very friendly. Room was clean and plenty of towels! I was on the 9th floor, which is also where the laundry room is right outside the elevator, so the floor is warm and very humid. Parking is very expensive, 50/day, which is the price around DC. Parking in the street around there is limit to 3.5 hr (except residential area) using ParkMobile apps. Parking on the street is free on Sunday. Breakfast is $16/adult if it’s not included in the hotel. Overall. It’s a nice hotel and family friendly.
