We loved having a real Starbucks in the hotel. The rooms are nice, and the location is excellent. The only problem is the pool needs to open earlier. It was 93 when we stayed there in mid-April, but the pool hadn’t opened yet.

We enjoyed how close to the National Mall it was. The Air & Space Museum just 2 blocks away! The breakfast buffet was delicious, full of different selections every morning. Room was cleaned daily. It was a little difficult getting 1 taxi for a party of 6, but the other Taxi cabs would try to accommodate us.

We stayed here for one night after a concert. The entire facility and room was very clean and well-kept. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We LOVED that there’s a Starbucks right off of the hotel. The only complaint was that there was no shampoo or body wash in the bathroom, the holder where I assume they would have been was broken, which is probably why there was none, but that was minor and didn’t really matter since we only stayed for one night. Would definitely stay here again.

We bought the breakfast buffet one day & it was adequate. They had free wine tasting in the lobby each night we were there. I would stay again.
