LikedCleanliness of property, all staff members where very nice to my entire family.
DislikedNot enough lighting (lamps) in the room.
LikedThe facilities, accommodation and staff were outstanding! Staff took the time to know more about us and about our visit.
DislikedCan’t think of anything that I didn’t like.
LikedAttractive hotel with very comfortable rooms, pleasant indoor and outdoor seating and accommodating staff.
DislikedBreakfast was cold
LikedIt’s a lovely hotel and the staff are incredibly attentive, helpful, and polite. The service level is of a very high standard. The lobby is lovely and the rooms are an excellent size
LikedThe hotel was comfortable, spotlessly clean, very well located, and felt extremely safe. The room was beautifully decorated and the entire place smelled amazing.
DislikedThe housekeeping staff was quite loud every morning, which made it difficult to sleep in. I had to wake up each day to the noise they were making, and although this was the only issue I experienced, it was rather frustrating. Also, having to pay for Wi-Fi doesn’t quite fit with expectations in 2025. Of course, this is the hotel’s policy and it was clearly stated on Booking.com, so this is just a personal opinion. But perhaps including Wi-Fi in the room rate—by raising it slightly, say $15 (daily wifi rate)—might come across as more refined.
LikedNice location, friendly staff. Comfortable beds and clean rooms. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Easy walk to Foggy Bottoms metro, through a cute historic Foggy Bottoms neighborhood.
DislikedWe had a room facing M street and it was loud.
LikedQuiet courtyard with birds singing into your window — what a blessing for a big city. Good buffet breakfast, fresh renovation across the property.
LikedFriendly staff and they helped me to celebrate my sons birthday and provided surprise birthday cupcake
DislikedBathroom tub water was not drained and in the first day mid night I had to clean it and remove lot of hairs which has blocked the drainage line
