Eaton DC

10/10 Excellent

"First, the best thing about this hotel is the staff. Always helpful and they responded to any request with alacrity. For example, when my daughter and I came back after a wedding, she called to have ice brought up to our room. During her conversation, she mentioned that her feet were hurting after all that dancing. When the staff member appeared at our door, he carried not only a bucket of ice, but a bag (triple bagged) of ice for her aches. The hotel is a retro boutique hotel. When I entered my room, there was a turntable on the shelf as well as several vinyl records. Old photos decorated the walls. Bathroom fixtures were also old fashioned, although they functioned as well any more modern looking ones. Returning after lunch, I noticed that there was a radio station broadcasting from the lobby. I particularly noticed it, because when I walked in, I saw a light on a recording booth that said "On Air." A thoroughly pleasant stay!!"
