I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was incredible, right by Capitol Hill, and close to many attractions and stores. The rooms were cozy with a big bed that was super comfortable. The service was top-notch, with room service available, and the staff made me feel so welcome. The dining experience was a highlight – those homemade biscuits were to die for! However, one downside was the lack of pet amenities available. Overall, great value for the money.

The hotel's location is superb, within walking distance of the Capitol Building and the National Mall, although it's situated on a narrow alley. The rooms feature extremely comfortable beds, but with only one bed instead of two. The service is top-notch, offering various amenities such as room service, dry cleaning, and valet parking. The dining experience, particularly the French toasts, is delightful. The facilities are excellent, enhancing the overall stay.
