Overall I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, I arrived early and they let me check in on time, The only thing I would complained is that when I asked for room cleaning, they didn’t change new towels for me everyday, some days they did refill new towels and some days they didn’t, I guess it depends on the person who do the cleaning bc I noticed it’s someone different everyday.

Same price as jw marriott or watergate but offers nothing besides location. The room was terrible. It had no ceiling lights and only three lamps in 400sqft. It was probably north facing so had no sun light. There was constant noise of some motor whizzing near our room - probably room specific. The curtains are tedious to close. All in all just a terribly designed room. Staff are also not polite. If you enter the hotel at night without a key a guy interrogates you with disdain. I saw them nearly shout at a young woman who who asked for a replacement key. Parking is $65 - more expensive than the local parking. Gym is excellent and room size was big for conparable options. There is no warmth in this place. Do not book for non work reasons ever.
