The hotel is showing condition issues. The smell of pot abounded - especially in the elevators. This is a very busy hotel for the airport, totally understand. It is what it is. Was staying there with my grandson who had no end to questions. LOL. Overall, I would not choose this property in the future.

My overall stay was very enjoyable. The property was well maintained, the room was comfortable, and most of the staff were excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The only reason I didn’t give a full five stars was due to my checkout experience. When I approached the front desk in the morning, it took quite a while for someone to come out from the back, and when they did, they seemed inconvenienced by assisting me. It was a small but noticeable contrast to the otherwise great service I experienced during my stay. Aside from that, everything else was wonderful, and I would gladly return.

Would recommend to a friend

Great spot, very convenient if you're flying out of DCA. It's clean, the staff is nice, there's a little hotel bar/restaurant. Easy access to DC. Checks a lot of boxes

Clean rooms

The room was clean and comfortable. The Cleaning lady came in after I said I was in the room.i was in a towel I had to ask her to please stop and close the door. The front lady also didn't tell us about parking or breakfast, didn't give breakfast tickets, and was just in a bad mood, which is fine but do your minimum work requirements.
