Front desk members were a great help for a last minute change of my booking from 1 night to two nights, they made all the process easy for my family. They were friendy and professional. The person in dinning room for breakfast was very friendy and welcoming. Good enough options for breakfast. Bedroom and common areas were clean all the time, actually my first impression was the smell like sterilized (almost like a hospital), sheets are not too soft but ok. It is not a walkable area. You need to pay extra for the parking spot and $100 deposit, I still don't have clear if it's recordable.

Website says there is a shuttle to the Capitol building. Upon inquiring, the front desk clerk informed us that that was old and the site hadn't been updated since they were previously under a different name. The area was also very noisy! There is a police station nearby, and the area clearly gets a lot of attention! Between honking and sirens, it was hard to get much rest.

This is a nice hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, which I appreciated. I did have a bit of trouble with the TV signal going in and out sometimes. The big problem is it is not convenient to the downtown DC area, so I spent more money on Uber/Lyft rides than I wanted to. It’s really not near a metro stop. Nor is it near the Supreme Court, which it says on their website. And I would not walk around there after dark. Lots of noise with motorcycles and cars revving their engines and playing their music extremely loud. It’s a rather run down, industrial neighborhood. But the hotel itself was very nice. Not fancy, but clean and comfortable.
