The employees where very nice. The room was spacious . Beds very comfortable. Every request was met with speed and pleasantry. The location was an ideal spot lots of unique shops and restaurants nearby. Located about 2 mi from the national Mall. It was chilly in the morning so we ubered and then walk back. We felt super safe It was always groups of people walking around. So much to see wonderful architecture everywhere you look.Can't wait to go back and do it again.

3 Nights Near Dupont Circle

Overall a good experience. The one drawback was that the TV in my room didn't communicate with the cable service, so no guide for channels, no information about the programming, and there was no list of channels even for reference, though there 3 remote controls in the room. And I was supposed to receive VIP rewards, which I did, but only after inquiring. If I were running a hotel, I would confirm with each guest upon checkin what their benefits were for the stay. On checkout, I had to request the invoice be redone because my $15 f&b credit hadn't been applied for breakfast that morning , even though clarifying at checkout that I had used the restaurant and produced the receipt. Breakfast was good, but I feel they should seriously rethink the potatoes, and give guests another option for the dishes that include potatoes. I believe they had been boiled, then roasted, or maybe just boiled?

Does not prioritize customer experience

At 01:30 on our first night, water started pouring through our bathroom ceiling. We immediately called the front desk and used our remaining towels to contain the water as best we could. At 01:45, they called us back saying the tub above us overflowed and gave us more towels. Thinking it was done, we went to sleep until we got a phone call at 02:30 saying the maintenance guy was outside our door. I asked for a new room and was hung up on. I called back and the front desk very begrudgingly gave us a new room, like we were inconveniencing them. On the second morning, we got a wake up call at 06:50 that we did not place. Out of two nights, both nights messed up by something with next to no level of concern by the front desk.
