It was just fine, I expected more for the price
Pros:

Staff was friendly enough, room was nice and the location was good

Cons:

There was no breakfast, I went to get coffee and the drip trays on both machines were full, the mattress had a very large stain on the side of it. There was a noticeable repair in the bathroom where the paint did not match

Fine for a short stay
Pros:

Location is decent and the 24 hour coffee bar was a wonderful addition! Hotel is close to union station and the capital, a nice walking area that feels mostly safe. Staff were helpful and beds were comfortable, AC worked really well in the room, and they offer free laundry services.

Cons:

The hotel was just fine, I would not stay again. We had an issue in our room where whenever the guest above us went to the bathroom, the smell wafted into our room via the vents. Not even coming from our own bathroom, literally like through the walls. It was awful because the other guest was apparently having some major stomach problems. I’m not even sure what could be done to mitigate this other than a complete ventilation system upgrade. We did not like that the very few places to eat nearby besides one local sports bar (Hamilton’s) and the food in union station, were very over priced. We know that DC in general is expensive, but the Dubliner downstairs for example, is charging upwards of $25 for a basic breakfast plate. Our entire family actually ate for less in the Natural History museum than we did at places near the hotel, which I think speaks volumes to how expensive everything in the area is (lol).
