10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is so convenient to the DC train station. We just walked a block and there was the lovely building. We were there in early afternoon and stopped to just drop bags but instead Charles at the reception desk was kind enough to find a room that was ready for us. The coffee on the second floor was much appreciated, as well as the complimentary cocktails from the Irish restaurant on the first floor. The hotel was perfect for our needs and we would definitely stay again!"

"The hotel is a little dated but super clean. The food from their restaurant was AMAZING! I ate almost every meal at the hotel. The staff was great! (Shout out to Jamal and Sarah!) The pool was surprisingly deep; the deepest part is 8 feet. The hotel was conveniently located to all tourist attractions, about a 10-15 drive to all of the museums, monuments and the zoo. I will definitely be returning."
