Oakwood - accommodation in Laurel

We booked this hotel for one night stay in DC and enjoy Cherry Blossom. We got room in the 2nd building which I didn’t expect. It was in the 1st floor. The room was ok. Water in the system was smelly and the shower was terrible. I purchased breakfast from Expedia site that allowed me to buy for two adults only during booking, so I thought kids would eat free. However, I had to pay for my older son (14 years). The front desk appeared to be rigid if not rude. Breakfast was fresh, but with a $25 breakfast, I would have preferred some places.

This is was the perfect stay, I was there for a Gala event hosted by The Crown Prince of Ethiopia His Royal Highness Prince Ermias Sahle Selassie, at The Army and Navy Club. I chose Club Quarters due to its proximity, as the event was across the road. My flight getting in to DC was cancelled so I was a day late for Check in, although my family was able to check in on time. The staff were incredibly helpful and made sure I was well taken care of on my arrival, equipping me with my room key, internet access and showing me all the fantastic amenities. I particularly loved the eco conscious ethos at Club Quarters, water stations were equipped with refillable water bottles instead of disposable paper or plastic cups and bathroom amenities like conditioner, shampoo lotion etc were also eco friendly and refillable. Stand out Staff member, Missy was exceptional. She went above and beyond to insure our stay was perfect in every way, she made great recommendations on places to eat, sights to visit and her personality was extremely welcoming and accommodating. I was even able to leave my luggage at Club Quarters after check out, as my flight out of DC was later on the evening. 5 stars all around and when next I’m in DC I will most definitely stay at Club Quarters.

Clean room and nice amenities
