Comfort and Convenience in the Heart of DC
Pros:

Wonderful stay in Washington, DC! The hotel was very clean, beautifully decorated, and conveniently located just minutes from Union Station and the Capitol Building. The staff was friendly, the rooms were comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming and elegant. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting DC.

Super séjour
Pros:

Hôtel moderne propre avec tous les équipements nécessaires.
Chambre très spacieuse avec une déco hyper originale et des petits plus tels que peignoirs, chaussons, serviette à make-up et lingettes démaquillantes (hyper rare), repose-pieds dans la douche.
Le restaurant de l’hôtel est très bien et propose une cuisine française de grande qualité.
Très bon rapport qualité/prix par rapport à d’autres hôtels.
Merci a Stacy 🇲🇺pour le check-in en français c’est très agréable.
