We got lucky in picking the Heron for a stay lasting several weeks - location, good staff, and food.
Pros:

We stayed for nearly a month as we had suffered a small house fire and needed a place nearby. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and competent. The room was quiet and everything worked. The food in the hotel bar and restaurant was excellent (with plenty of dining options nearby if you want to get out of the hotel). It's a pet friendly hotel and they treated our small dog really well.

Cons:

The wait time for the valet was often very long (20 minutes or more at times) because it appears they were understaffed (and parked the cars several blocks away). However, it's easy to get a ride or use the (free) public buses nearby as well as the DC metro system.

Good location, good room but no coffee in room.
Pros:

|Location is great, room absolutely fine at price no issues here

Cons:

No coffee facilities in room, No hotel information in room. Running down to the reception in morning and trying to handle elevator/cards and hands full of warm coffee in morning is an ordeal I would rather not have gone through.

Taking everything into account, it’s was a pleasant stay.
Pros:

The hotel is on a beautiful location, pretty much waking distance to the major sightseeings. I have to mention how warmly they greeted our puppy. Room was spacious consider being in old town.

Cons:

Can’t complain much about the hotel as it’s an amazing one. Only strange thing was that not even one bottle of water was complimentary (which is standard in most of the hotels).
