Pros:

המיקום מעולה 10 דקות מהבית הלבן. זרמו עם אבא שלי לעשות סרטון מצחיק. הוולט מעולה יש להם מעלית נוספת לעלות את הדברים והם מחנים לך את הרכב. החניה כן עולה כסף אבל הבנתי שזה ככה בכל מלון בוושינגטון. אין בופה אלא תפריט אבל האוכל מעולה. הם קראו לנו למונית ביום השני והנהג היה ממש נחמד נראלי עובד עם המלון. החדר היה מעולה 2 מיטות גדולות כספת בחדר אפשרות לכבס בגדים. העובדים ממש נחמדים.

A nice place
Pros:

The hotel is really well located, and easy to get to. The room was comfortable, good shower and bed.

Cons:

The amenity fee of $35 is crazy, and just a way to nickel and dime customers. We didn't use any of the amenities other than the two bottles of filtered water they gave us - at least offer some nice spring water! I could have purchased a lot of water for $35. The happy hour is a nice touch and I've seen it in many places, but charging like this is a first for me, especially since I'm never around the hotel at that time anyway to partake in it. The overall room rate was competitive with surrounding properties, even with this fee, though in truth, it's just a little much.

Overall a good stay but confusing with the amenity fee and very small bathroom!
Pros:

Location great. Staff were overall friendly especially DJ.

Cons:

Rooms are not very soundproof and you can hear through them.
The amenity fee to me is confusing. It should either be optional or just included in the room price. To have to pay for water and wifi seems a little odd. Wifi should be a free thing these days.
The bathroom in the Queen room was very very small! (and I am a small person!)

Cons:

What I didn’t like about the stay was the lack of variety in beverages that were easily available to guests. While water was appreciated, there were times when we wanted other drink options, and because the bar was closed, there wasn’t really a convenient way to get anything else. Adding more accessible beverage options for visitors would definitely improve the overall experience.
