Great location for the main sights of Washington. All walkable - 1 - 2 miles. AirCon played up a couple of times, which we see from reviews is recurring. Expensive to park at hotel - much cheaper options within a few mins walk.

Stay was average.
Check in was good. Staff was polite and helpful. The room was clean, but the walls are very thin and you could hear everything. Additionally, when I turned the air on all it did was pump hot air out.

So the property looks nice and the photos online. But when in person you can see it's a cheap and Hasty renovation. The windows leaked air, the door separating our room from the other room had a broken lock on it, no trash bags and the heating and air conditioning system could only be one or the other. Other than that the place was decent nicely priced good area and was clean in the beds were comfortable and the staff was nice.

The room was clean and staff were friendly. Location decent. But the room was small and outlets were not in convenient locations. Also, there was not really a place to sit and do work. There was a chair and just like a ledge under the big TV, so if you sat there, the screen is inches from your face. But what upset me most was there was no AC when it was 80 degrees. We were told it had been turned off for the season when the lobby had AC! In a day and age when weather is so all over the place, you need to be able to offer AC whenever it's needed!

When we arrived they explained that they were switching from AC to heat and that we had neither. We left the AC fan on and it helped a little bit (no AC)when we returned from being out all day they had turned the heat on and it was 86° in our room!!! Yuck!! We were able to open a window about 2 inches to help.

It's a small thing, but I liked the flags in the window representing the nationalities of the staff. Service was good. We spilled some metamucil in the sink, which is hard to get off, but she worked at it and pretty much got it. It is too bad there was not a room for breakfast. We finally thought to go to a nearby hotel's dining room, but not before walking extensively looking for a restaurant that was open that early.

A great place to stay! Location is perfect for going to a show at the Kennedy Center, and every other highlight of D.C. is also nearby. Many restaurants and attractions are within walking distance. Metro is also convenient. Room was clean and had a nice view of city.

Disliked: Amenities
They had no heat! I was NEVER told that they only turn on the heat in the property after a certain date. I complained and they gave me a small heater which didn't work. Then they gave me another one which did work, but not enough to heat up the room. Finally, I was given a second one which helped. Also, when I plugged in the clothes iron, or the coffee pot, it tripped the circuit breaker if the heaters were on, and all the lights went out. Many of the staff were friendly, but communication was very poor. They need new management. Also, they do not offer any type of breakfast, not even a continental one. BUT, the location is great if you like walking to the Kennedy Center.

Our room’s AC was not functioning, and the room was unbearably hot, making it impossible to stay comfortably. When we reached out to the management team, they offered no reasonable solution, compensation, or any willingness to take responsibility and work on resolving the issue. The lack of accountability and customer care left us with a horrible experience. I would not recommend staying here if you expect a comfortable environment and a responsive management team.
