Dated property that needs some TLC. Staff was amazing for the freedom 250 and the lifeguard was great at the rooftop pool.
Affordable, comfortable, close to the Metro (3 minute walk), very walkable to all the sights around the National Mall (5 to 20 minutes, depending on the attraction). Friendly staff! Great breakfast buffet and restaurant.
Great location to most attractions. Staff were all great, especially Chris at the front desk. He made the trip for my grandson very memorable and even considered Chris as his new best friend. Will definitely recommend to others.
Breakfast on weekends is 26.95 per adult but up to two kids eat free with each adult meal, so it’s somewhat affordable for families that can take advantage of the free kids buffet.
Conveniently located near the metro station and mall making it ideal for sightseeing. Although the facility has some age, it was maintained well and the staff was very helpful. Excellent breakfast bar.
We loved having a real Starbucks in the hotel. The rooms are nice, and the location is excellent. The only problem is the pool needs to open earlier. It was 93 when we stayed there in mid-April, but the pool hadn’t opened yet.
