The hotel staff was amazing and helpful. I found them to be especially resourceful especially Randy. He was able to recommend the best places to visit and how to navigate the city. He would be the main reason we would return to this hotel. The rooms were outdated and the carpets were filthy . The elevators were filthy and stinky.

Excellent location for walking with kids to the metro, National Mall and Capitol. There was friendly staff and the room was nicely cleaned every day. It seems like parts of the hotel are updated, but the room was not. Breakfast was good, staff in all restaurants were friendly and attentive. Parking deck was not owned by the hotel and sort of confusing to get in and out. Pool was nice. Overall good experience.
