Have ALWAYS loved this place but NOT this time!
Pros:

We’ve stayed here MANY times! Every time we visit my sone at GWU we stay here. We love the location and how clean it is!

Cons:

I didn’t like that my TV didn’t work the rocket night. We checked in late cuz our drive from NY ended up over 6 hours. We went right to dinner. When we came home we “turned on” the TV, o my it didn’t work. It just ready “Loading” and never loaded. They offered to moved us but after a 6 hour plus drive at 11:30 I’m not up to move! So, I brought this to their attention and the best they could do was points on my Bonvoy account which is BS. It’s over $300 a night. I have expect to be able to watch TV and relax at night, but instead we watched a movie on our iPhones 👎 To boot, the woman at the front desk developed an attitude towards me! Like really? You’re doing to take this personally?!? GTFOH! Sorry but I stay here regularly with my daughter and we are respectful and clean. I expect the same back but sadly this time I did not, at least not from this Ken woman. Sadly she ruined my stay. I LOVED this hotel too, but time to find something else!

I would not recommend this place due to price, location for parking and the Bistro.
Pros:

The front desk girl Markesha was very helpful and valet employees very helpful.

Cons:

The Bistro ladies were not very friendly and I paid for breakfast with my lodging and we had very selective food that was not very good. Also, the valet workers were helpful and nice but I did not like having valet parking or paying the high expense for parking. Pool was very small and not warm.
