I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, equipped with nice little kitchens for actual cooking. However, noise protection was lacking, as I could hear people talking on the sidewalk. The service was amazing, with friendly and very accommodating staff. The location was perfect, near public transport and the sights of DC. The dining experience was average, and the facilities were good overall.

The hotel offers big and comfortable rooms that face the Circle, which can be a bit loud at times. I really liked the layout of the renovated studio apartments. The service was wonderful, very friendly, and professional, with options for dining within walking distance to landmarks like the White House and Lincoln Memorial. The location is excellent, right across from the Metro and within walking distance of Georgetown, although there were some nighttime disturbances from sirens. The dining experience was pricey for what was offered, but the staff was friendly. Overall, a convenient spot with modern amenities.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, although outdated, have nice little kitchens for cooking, and the option to have Trader Joe's groceries stocked in the fridge before arrival was a plus. The service was impeccable with extra friendly staff, but the lack of providing an authorization receipt upon cancellation was a downside. The location was superb for visiting GWU, the White House, and Georgetown, offering convenience but with limited amenities. Dining options were average at best, yet the facilities were enjoyable.

Staying at this hotel has its perks. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, akin to a huge apartment, but they could use a bit of a refresh. Service was great overall, from the doorman to the receptionist, although having the authorization receipt would have been helpful for international travels like myself.
