The hotel was fine overall except for the mysterious $19.99 (plus tax) per day “facilities fee” that they charged, and which was not prominently advertised at all. Felt like a deceptive business practice. When I asked what that surprise fee was getting me, they said it was two bottles of water per day - which I didn’t need - and “complimentary WiFi”. For $19.99 per day kind of complimentary. Sad and unimpressive.

Terrible management

Pros: the room was nice
Cons: Have the management take courses on "Customer Service" as clearly they did not care bout their guests
Location: close to the Capitol and Union Station
Came to DC for the Presidential Inauguation and attended the Gala at this hotel so we decided to stay here. The food at the Gala, provided by the hotel, was terrible. The selection was minimal, the food was cold, the bartenders, hotel staff, were slow and incompetent and the banquet room was a dirty mess with uncleaned tables and dirty dishes all over the place. The room was hot and sweaty due to improper ventilation. The next day my wife and I decided to try the restaurant. What a mistake! First we were told to come back in an hour as they were full, eventhough there were plently of empty tables. And they would not even take our name for a reservation. When we came back, they told us again that we had to wait, but would not tell us how long the wait was, again eventhough there were plenty of empty tables. After complaining to the restaurant manager, who was very rude, my wife went to complain to the hotel management. The hotel manager was also extremely rude and condesending and offered no help at all. Finally after waiting another 10 minutes, we were seated. The food was ok at best. The resturant was clearly understaffed. We couldn't even get a cup of coffee in the mornings!!!

Comfortable, central for exploring Washington DC

Pros: Good Location.
Cons: Make the WiFi free. Reduce restaurant prices to a reasonable level.
Location: Great location for exploring the capital!
Comfortable hotel. Good for exploring the capitals sights. A shame that they charge for the use of their WiFi. The restaurant is rather expensive! Better to go elsewhere for breakfast!

Fantastic

The Hotel was all that the pictures showed it was.  We had a great room on the 15th Floor looking out onto the Capitol Building - Room 1517 - Deluxe Double - Will definitely go back to this Hotel.  We were 2 Blocks from Union Station, so you could take the Train in and walk to the Hotel or take a short Taxi Ride.  Staff was very friendly & helpful.

Not Nice People at the Front Desk

People at the front desk are not friendly. Service is very slow. We ask for a pillow and it came two hours later. Restaurant is good for breakfast but is also very slow.

Great hotel for a great price

Pros: Quiet, location
Cons: few restaurants in area
The hotel was clean, the staff was nice and helpful when needed. Located a few blocks from the Capitol Building, it was an ideal location to view all that DC has to offer.
