"My favorite place to stay in DC. The staff are always amazing. So friendly, professional and attentive. I did experience a few negatives this time. No room upgrade was offered and was supposed to be. I also had to ask about my Expedia VIP bar/restaurant credit. Slow on getting ice; wish I could get my own. One beside lamp didn’t work. But I will still be back! Can’t beat the high end service and location. "

"This place was absolutely amazing and I totally would recommend it! We stayed four nights and it was just such a wonderful place to be. Our room was very clean and nicely arranged before we arrived which was awesome. Also, I read a lot of reviews before we checked in about how the codes were super hard to use. Those codes were the easiest things to use so I am not really sure why anyone would be complaining about it. It is super efficient, high tech, and we felt safe the whole time. So basically...

"Besides me calling to ask about any incidental fee and them telling me there wasn’t one but I get to the front desk and him telling me it was $100, the hotel was very beautiful. Clean, great furniture and great service. I had a king suite and it didn’t have a microwave so that sucked. But overall I would recommend and come back."

Great dining all within walking distance (Via Sophia, in the same building, has great reviews, but we did not try it). Also within sight of the hotel is a dining club that I reckon morphs into a nightclub later on. It's busy, and everyone looks like they're having an excellent time. Maybe not for anyone who needs to go to bed by 9 (aka over 50), but hey, you never know. "

"It was a very clean hotel. Loved walking into the lobby and it smelled so good. They have a Starbucks which was a plus. The rooms were very clean, spacious and the staff were so nice and helpful. This hotel is close to airport, mall and so many food places to choose from. I would definitely stay here again, so welcoming! This was my 1st time visiting Washington. Great experience!"
