The service from the staff members was impeccable. Our room was neat and clean. However, the ADA shower made a huge, wet mess with every use. We had to place several towels in front of it to soak up all of the water. I would not recommend a room of this type. We only chose it because that's all that was available.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities

For the property to be considered luxury, a lot of work will need to be done. Upon checking in I noted, the bed linens to be dingy-did not look fresh at all, the carpet was also with smudge, water stains on most surfaces-giving it an unclean appearance. There was a strong sewerage smell through the room and it was very pungent in the bathroom. Overall the room was not at all luxury so lower your expectations while booking. The lobby was not decorated with any Christmas lights or ornaments like most hotel lobbies especially ones that are supposed to be luxe. I went to the restaurant before checking out and there was only one table sitting…the staff uniforms were with stains and because of the lack of ambience and consistent lack of detail throughout my stay, I decided to go to Four Seasons for brunch instead. Rooms need to be refreshed. Get into the details if you want to be a luxury hotel.

Hotel has potential to be so much more and needs work to meet the quality requirement of a five star hotel. However the location is amazing, very close to DC and George town within walking distance. it is an ok hotel and needs to work on the little things that matter to customers. The room was average and not five star but for comfort it was great however when staying in such hotels you expect more in the room then was provided and expect quality products in the room, example being the coffee station which was very average.
