"I loved staying here. It was well worth the price for the cost! We got a free room upgrade upon first meeting them. The room was very nice and roomy. The food and service was great. The front desk helped with all my questions about how to get around, how to use the Metro, and restaurants to eat at. We were greeted everytime we went by the desk. I felt bad for how many times the door man opened the door for me. They were so nice! The housekeeper help with directions. I would highly recommend staying here."
