Top floor may not be the best floor!

The service was excellent. Staff is very friendly. Room was clean and plenty of towels! I was on the 9th floor, which is also where the laundry room is right outside the elevator, so the floor is warm and very humid. Parking is very expensive, 50/day, which is the price around DC. Parking in the street around there is limit to 3.5 hr (except residential area) using ParkMobile apps. Parking on the street is free on Sunday. Breakfast is $16/adult if it’s not included in the hotel. Overall. It’s a nice hotel and family friendly.
