Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is well situated on Capitol Hill and close to most sites of interest for visitors. The adjacent attached restaurant is excellent. A bit pricey, but in line with Capitol Hill establishments. Rooms are quite large and housekeeping was very helpful and diligent. I was not happy with being told that a more than a one hour late check out would range from $50-$100 additional charge.

The hotel is great, but the food options are limited. There's only 1 restaurant to choose from if you want to sit and eat at the hotel (or order room service) and the restaurant is just ok. It's a French restaurant and the food is honestly underwhelming and basic. Bland, overpriced dishes.
