I had an exceptional time at this hotel. They were very accommodating with my arrival time and exceeded my expectations of friendliness and hospitality. This is one of the best experiences I had at a hotel in Washington D.C. and the room sizes were great. Would definitely stay here again. One thing I would add, please put recycling bins in the lobby.
