First time staying in this hotel and I have to say is my favorite! Here are the things I love, friendly staff, pet friendly, room was huge!, modern, CLEAN and the river view was beautiful. They have the valet parking option or park yourself (super close), free breakfast and also offer 2 free drinks ;) They have a restaurant on site (also with a nice river view), and a rooftop but it was close for the season. The hotel is locate it at walking distance to downtown’s shops and restaurants. I will definitely come back but this time with my dogs.

Excellent stay overall. My main complaint is terrible water pressure in the shower. I assume this is Embassy Suites policy for all their hotels, so I in no way blame this particular property. Staff couldn’t be friendlier or more efficient. Facility is super-clean. Without a doubt I would recommend.

Room was a great size. There were five of us and we fit comfortably. The location was great. Quick walk to the National Mall. Breakfast was very good. We went at peak times and still were able to get a table and the lines were not too long. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.
