Large room and excellent location
Pros:

We were extremely pleased with our stay. The location was very convenient, with an easy drop-off for Ubers or your own car, and good parking nearby (we booked our own parking, though there was onsite parking if you wished.) Check-in was easy and seamless. The room was absolutely enormous for a city hotel room-- extremely spacious and nice. It was super close to all transportation, tourist sites, and restaurants.

Cons:

Beautiful, Affordable Hotel
Pros:

Location was close to Union Station and the Capitol. It was surprisingly quiet for being in the city. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed.

Cons:

I would prefer if the bed had 2 types of pillows so guests could choose. All 4 pillows were the same with polyester- fill, so too high to sleep on.
