"The location is perfect especially for using the metro and going out. The room was clean, I absolutely love the bathroom and the fact that the facility had vending machines including a washer and dryer. The valet guy and the front desk guy at night was really kind and helpful. However, when we first checked in, that lady was rude and her service was terrible. Overall we really liked this place (:"
