Enjoyable very reasonable price for the Washington area
Pros:

Great location on the Potomac easy access by the GW Parkway to Washington Reagan National Airport.

Cons:

The only drawback was the elevator to the parking garage was being serviced the day we were there. One of the clerks lugged our luggage up the stairs to the lobby the make up for the elevator being out of service.

Great for friends and families who want to be together. Location and dining choices a plus!
Pros:

I liked the size of the kitchen and the whole series of sitting rooms, dining rooms as it was a great place or families to congregate. I liked my sisters bedroom which had a large sitting room and bathroom in addition to the bedroom. We were a family and friends gathering and it was great that we were all together in closer proximity than we would have been in a larger standard hotel.

Cons:

It is an old building with some architectural quirks (steep steps, little step ups here and there), which I personally don’t mind having lived in old houses. I find it charming. For those who are use to “new” house living with everything square, they were a little flummoxed.

Super Lage, für den Preis und 4 Sterne aber zu teuer
Pros:

Die Lage ist wirklich super, nur wenige Schritte und man ist in dem idyllischen Stadtzentrum
Mitarbeiter sehr nett und schnell zur Hilfe

Cons:

Im ersten Zimmer schloss die Tür nicht richtig nach verlassen des Raums (ja, die Klinge zur Sicherheit zu drücken lohnt sich!). Wurde aber rasch und unkompliziert gelöst.
Im zweiten Zimmer ging die Glühbirne beim Bett nicht, Beleuchtung allgemein wenig und jede Lampe muss händisch aufgedreht werden. Wasserdruck sehr schwach, Fenster kann man nicht öffnen und die Matratzen sind recht weich (aber da hat ja jeder andere Präferenzen)

Great place, crappy pillows
Pros:

Location is fantastic. Rooms are clean, nice bathroom and shower

Cons:

Pillows we hard and horrible. I would have appreciated brewed coffee in the lobby versus the Keurig in the room. I like real coffee. Other than that, it was a great hotel.
