The hotel is beautiful, central to most DC attractions, surrounded by top rated restaurants, and steps away from public transport for when we need to travel further. It was perfect in every way!

This hotel didn't do anything for daughter’s birthday. I mentioned it when I did my reservation. The room was nice not what I was hoping for. I guess I didn't pay as much as others. "
