The only issue I noticed was the absence of breakfast. If the serving time is until xyz, there should be food available until that time. It’s not acceptable to run out of food an hour before the end of the serving time and not have it replenished.

Clean room. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was lacking quantity of items. No pancakes nor cinnamon rolls were available. Just a sign saying, not available. Lacking a variety of fruits. Low quantity of muffins, bread, and bagels. Bacon and were great and potatoes average. Sausage was a yellow color. Coffee was excellent.

Great hotel! We were allowed to check in early since a room was ready. Quiet rooms with minimal noise. Great size window so the room felt big. Bathroom is updated and big shower. Breakfast could have been more organized with layout changed. Wish they had other options for parking besides valet for the hotel which was $60 a night. We parked around the corner in a separate parking garage for $20 a night. Would recommend that before paying for valet.

Disliked: Amenities
Bad customer service; long line for breakfast; not many options for breakfast ( only scrambled eggs and dried bacon); pancakes machine was not in service; no water in the pomp. I strongly not recommended. You can have better options of hotels.

Parking was atrocious. You are required to use the Valet services (you aren’t allowed to park yourself and it’s incredibly expensive for the valet service) Otherwise, the room was nice and it was in a good place in DC. It was a 45 minute walk to the Monument (it lies on the website and says it’s only 15 minutes. Don’t believe them. Be prepared to walk 5-10 miles per day if you are wanting to walk around DC.
