Location was the main reason we chose this hotel. We were spending our days in DC. The hotel is a really short walk to the Metro train station. There is also a Starbucks, CVS, WEGMANS an easy walk to the hotel. The room was good. Comfortable beds, clean, good water pressure. WiFi was slow but functional

There’s a few little issues the tub shower thing doesn’t pull up so that the water is coming out of where it would fill the tub and the shower and spraying all over the shower curtain did not stay closed while I was showering and there’s some molding in front of the bathroom sink that is in need of repair. Otherwise the room is clean and fairly comfortable.

Very costly for 2 nights. For those unfamiliar
with the grounds there are no signs for
entry or exit. Some of the interior needs work
like the elevator. The hosts were very friendly
and helpful. And what food and drink I had was
excellent.

Great stay!
Wonderful stay and staff and everyone was very friendly. Room was well equipped and spacious.
One of three elevators worked. Plus, when you were on an elevated floor you had to press the up button, keep going up, and then go down. The heat did not work properly. The shower faucet did not work property. My breakfast omelette was overcooked.
The waiter was above average.
