I liked it, but they charge you 10 dollars to park in their parking lot, that is just greed. The shower was hot, the heat worked really good. So, overall it was good, will definitely book there again if necessary.

Our stay was comfortable. There is a young lady that works mornings at your front desk, she is just lovely. That’s a keeper. Also your housekeep staff were all great.
Nice and friendly staff. The price is pretty good for the property.
At the same time I was surprised to pay additional price for parking while it was advertised that the parking is available.
I liked that I felt safe there. Well lit and guarded. I also liked being able to park at the room door and walk in. There was limited hot water though. Room was very clean and the internet and TV worked well. Room was noisy from traffic on Rt 50. McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts next door and a chinese restaurant at the hotel. Checkin was easy. $10 parking/night to pay for extra security which I didn't mind. Convenient to downtown, NOMA, Union Station
The gentleman at the front desk was rather rude at check-in. I had reserved a room weeks ahead and called the hotel to request connecting rooms, which is the main reason I chose this hotel.He said the hotel was full and no connecting rms available.I told him I had called to confirm, he said "hotel full, no connecting rms!''He then put us in two rms,my rm had a connecting door,just not to my people!!
You pay to Park and security was rude as well. The hot water took 30 mins to get hot . Phones in the rms didn't work, restaurant was closed.

Sorry nothing to add my flight from Colorado was delayed, I got to DC around 11pm, when I got to the hotel someone I sd canceled my room. Then i was told it was canceled on October 3rd. Which wasn't true. I found myself stranded in DC. Every decent hotel had zero available rooms. I ended up staying in a dump . And i just went early to the airport on thst Saturday after my event and waited 6 hours for my flight back to Washington State. It was a horrible experience. I don't know why my room was canceled. I certainly didn't request it
