Perfect for a quick DC trip
Pros:

Very convenient location right near the National Mall, 13 minutes from union station and a 6 min drive to CareFirst Arena. Staff was so kind and fun, vibe was excellent, Espresso Martini in the Cantina was a 10/10, the atmosphere is so artsy and cool, only thing that doesn’t make it a 10 is that the Rooftop Sushi Bar closes at 11 on weeknights so we missed it! I heard it was phenomenal though

Clean and friendly, lacks some basics. Not everyone wants or has time to use common areas
Pros:

While I paid a good price, if you added on the price of your breakfast I could have stayed at another hotel with a continental breakfast included and also more room amenities, like a coffee maker. Also, the refrigerator drawer was small and not very cold. I’d rather have to borrow an iron from the front desk than use a communal iron that is broken. The cleanliness and staff saved you but I probably won’t stay here again and would only consider it if i was traveling solo

Cons:

Lack of any room amenities and size of room
