Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My first stay was as advertised. The front desk was warm and welcoming. My room was super clean and just what I needed for my visit. I really appreciated the extra security of my key card required to use the elevator. The proximity to museums and restaurants was perfect!! One more thing- since I was on a road trip, having access to a nearby parking garage made my stay simpler in getting in and out of DC.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I lost my smart watch in the room and my smart phone showed the last location is in the hotel, but when I made a report after I checked out, they replied me that they could not find it. Even though, they kept saying I could updated my report, which I did but unfortunately the system could not allow me to write more words. I am very disappointed with the way they deal with lost item issue. Certainly, I will not go back to the hotel again.
