We loved our stay! The rooms were beautiful and so spacious. The coffee maker was amazing and it had the best shower. The restaurant was so good- we had breakfast there every morning and even went at night after sightseeing for dessert and drinks. The location was very convenient for walking. I’d definitely stay there again.

Exceptional Stay in the Heart of Washington, D.C.
I had an incredible stay at this hotel. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Washington D.C., making it easy to get around and explore. The rooms were immaculate, spacious, and felt brand new, with every amenity I could have needed. The beds were top-quality, ensuring a fantastic night’s sleep. The highlight was the staff – they were exceptionally responsive, professional, and kind, always going above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. It’s rare to find a hotel that offers this level of comfort and service, and I can genuinely say this was one of the nicest places I’ve stayed. Highly recommended for anyone visiting D.C.!

Beautiful Hotel!
Lovely new hotel (opened in 2023) with an amazingly friendly and helpful staff. In a great location for touring. Breakfast at the restaurant was great and not overly expensive. Dinner items were a little pricey. Would definitely stay here again when in the DC area.

Disliked: Amenities
Hotel was just okay but it’s not a “luxury” hotel. Area/location was great and the property was clean but a luxury hotel should have room service. And body soap. The no room service was a big negative for me. Definitely not a 4-star hotel experience.
