Very nice hotel conveniently situated very close to the Trump and Kennedy Center.
Very comfortable rooms.
Breakfast great quite pricey.
Service is efficient and friendly
Room was clean but we had some issues with the balcony’s door that was solved fast. Our was a short stay so we didn’t have time for amenities but what really impressed me was the elegance of the hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Our check in was quick and efficient. Friendly staff, provided helpful tips. We also received free upgrade of our room for a better view and space. Thank you!
The outlet on one side of the beds didn’t work but other than that we had fantastic service and they had no problem helping out with the exit bill for our troubles we would 100% stay again
Nice property with clean beautiful rooms. We really enjoyed our stay. House keeping staff was really good and our room was cleaned everyday to high standard.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
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.
