The property is beautifully designed and in a very nice area of DC - The Wharf has come a long way. I loved being on the water. The amenities were great. Pool is a bit small and was filled with kids but still enjoyed it. Very nice gym and on site bar and restaurant. The price is pretty high but not surprising being at the location its at. The parking is 65 a night so heads up. Dont know if id return but id recommend checking it out.

The rooftop pool was small but we never felt it was crowded. The gym was very well equipped and had excellent views. We stayed 3 nights and I wish I had stayed longer. We will be back!

Great stay for family visit

Hotel was great for our short family trip to DC. Very easy walk to the mall, great location at the wharf with restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream, and water taxi. My kids loved the board games available in the lobby. We also loved the rooftop pool, bummed it closed so earty (6pm) and the pool bar was closed the day we were up there but we were able to bring up drinks from the hotel bar downstairs. And as also noted in other reviews the elevators are very slow, not a big issue for us though. All staff were great, very helpful and made sure our stay was great. Highly recommend for families! Will be back!
