The hotel itself is beautiful, staff was very friendly and helpful. The parking situation, however, is atrocious. Valet is the ONLY option, and at $65 (after taxes) a night? Not worth it. I couldn’t find a parking garage so unfortunately I had no other choice. They are indeed money hungry, with outrageous prices for breakfast and their little mini mart options. The room I was in had a view of the Washington Monument and a little bit of Nationals Park. The building directly outside my window had extremely bright lights that stayed on all night, which the blinds in the room do not filter out. Other than that, most everything was great. The bathroom is sleek, with Bluetooth and a nightlight built into the mirror.
