Loved how close the hotel was to the National Mall! We used the e-bikes outside the hotel to get around and it was fabulous! Room was clean. I wish the restaurant was open on the weekends for breakfast.

Location was okay & close to the National Mall but there were limited dining options nearby. Had to walk to other side of Mall or the Wharf for restaurants. Older property with loose wall plugs so it was hard to keep phones & tablets charged and the beds weren't the best. False fire alarm went off at 11:25pm one night and there was a lot of commotion

The front Desk, Mr. Kenny, was excellent. Helped us resolve a matter quickly. All staff were helpful. The property is walkable. However as in the times presently we needed a ride. The taxis are so much cheaper than Uber/Lyft. Enjoy!
