Staff were wonderful, room was very nice, and location is excellent for walking around a very nice area of DC.
Very appealing to the senses upon walking in. Staff greeted us promptly and got our bags out of the vehicle. The lobby was buzzing with guest at the restaurant and bar.
Only issue we had during the stay was the cleanliness of the room upon arrival. They offered to switch rooms but we decided not to.
