We had a great stay here. Staff was friendly and the room was very clean. The location on the wharf was fantastic. We could walk to the Smithsonian easily from there too. I would highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

Hotel stay was great and the scenery was nice. Only complaint is that the location of the hotel is in a tight narrow space. To get parking in the garage isn't easy because tourists takes up those spots from the hotel guests. Besides that it was a great getaway
