Mostly Cons, but some notable Pros

Overall, this stay was “ok” but this hotel room was annoyingly frustrating. This review is for the king suite with premier city view. Pros: The hotel lobby was clean, well decorated, and it smelled good. The workers were nice and professional and I didn’t have to wait very long to check in. The best part of the stay was that the linens were good. I am very sensitive about bedding due to allergies. I didn’t wake up with skin irritation or stuffy nose, which is a HUGE plus and *almost* negates all the downsides. Cons: the decor was nice, but everything was so super inconvenient. It took some time to figure out the lights, as they all had different kinds of switches. The room overall was not as clean as it could have been. The carpet needed vacuumed along the sides of the room as there were crumbs all around. The TV remote did not work and we couldn’t switch over to the HDMI port, so don’t plan on bringing a streaming device. There were NO USB ports near the bed. They did have plugs, but the lack of built in USB ports near the bed was a complete surprise as I didn’t take an adapter with me. They did have built in USB across the room, but if you plan on charging your phone overnight, you will have to walk over to turn your alarm off. The view was okay, mostly the building across the street. But we could see part of the Washington monument which was cool. The bathroom was just regular, small, and there weren’t bathrobes though the description said there would be.

Decent not amazing though

Overall decent hotel. Kind of awkward giant mirror in the room next to the bed. Room seemed a tad small or the furniture just didn’t fit the space. Comfortable but stuffy in the room. Staff was friendly. In my opinion not worth the price we paid.

Loved our room, the in house restaurant was soooo good and fresh. Super quiet for being in a prime area. Housekeeping was super attentive. Front desk was personable. Overall a great hotel. My sister stayed at the same time but in a suite which was a great meeting place for all of us and the large circle table in her room was great so we could all dine together. The hotel is literally a 1-10 minute walking distance to anything.
