Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The hotel was great overall when it came to the accommodations. The king-size bed and couch were a nice touch, and we especially loved the balcony. It was the perfect place to relax in the evenings and enjoy our morning coffee.
Unfortunately, we did not have Wi-Fi during our entire stay, which meant the TV services were unavailable as well. Having to rely on valet parking was also frustrating, particularly one evening when we waited over an hour for our car. In addition, only one elevator was working during our visit.
The staff was friendly and did provide a $70 credit for the Wi-Fi issue, which we appreciated, but we felt additional compensation would have been appropriate given the valet delay and other inconveniences. On a positive note, the staff at the Firefly Restaurant were absolutely amazing and provided excellent service throughout our stay.
Despite the issues, we enjoyed our visit and would consider staying there again if we return to Washington.

You are paying for location and upgraded amenities. I was not impressed by the restaurant -Firefly. Having a balcony was amazing. The linens and towels were not comfortable and didn’t smell fresh. The robe was dirty. When you book via hotels.com you are supposed to get a free bottle of wine - that didn’t happen and nobody at the front desk knew what I was talking about when I brought it up. The walls are very thin. You can hear your neighbor come and go. Overall I would stay again but not have this idea that I am going to get a 4 star experience, it’s a 2 star experience.
The evening staff were great! Rooms were clean although shower could’ve been a little cleaner (there was stain on the curtain). Location was within walking distance to museums, food, bars, and etc. Area felt very safe to walk at night. Overall we would stay again.
Room was beautiful with a nice view. Bathroom was spacious and the complimentary robes were a nice touch. Me and my husband enjoyed the breakfast offered at the Firefly!
The hotel was very cute and the rooms were nice and spacious. The staff was absolutely amazing. We had welcome drinks at the firefly restaurant connected to the hotel and our bartender Andy was so cool so friendly we literally came back to the restaurant just to see and talk to him everyday and MJ was a gem so funny and kind. This will be my go to hotel when coming to the DC area. We didn’t want to leave.

Llegué y no tenían disponibilidad de estacionamiento. No brindaron ninguna solución y solo me enviaron a estacionar a 4 calles del hotel, y yo estaba con un yeso en la pierna. Además, no brindan los beneficios que indican por ser miembro silver en hotels.com
This hotel was absolutely exceptional. We came for a special occasion. I let the hotel know, and they arranged a bottle of champagne on ice and chocolate covered strawberries in our room on arrival. Two bath robes for my man and I. The room was beautiful and spacious. Wonderful staff. Great location. Wish we were still there right now. Will definitely be back.
Very comfortable bed, great pillows and linens. Electric kettle in room and filtered water with carbonated option in hall are great touches. Very friendly and accommodating staff in wonderful location.
Staff was friendly but not helpful. No assistance with bags, valet did not help with loading or unloading. In the lobby you have to put your bags on a dolly, wheel them to the steps, then transfer your bags to another dolly. Very inconvenient. Breakfast was not free. Balcony was nice. Rooms were clean.

The room was nice and the staff at the front desk nice and helpful, but the hotel was extremely loud and the room had virtually no soundproofing. There were parties happening late into the night above our room, smoke odors coming into our room through the night, and we heard people fighting on the street below our room until 4:30 in the morning. Even though we were on a high floor, we could hear every word.
The room was decent overall but there were some things that lacked attention to detail. We unfortunately had a room that was next door to some sort of hotel room party which was very loud at 1am. The front desk staff named Kanesha was very accommodating and kind to us and found us a room on a different floor. We really appreciate her!

Staff wasn’t the most welcoming and when I got in the room it was a big bug waiting for us wasn’t the best experience for the price.
