Hotel and room itself and was great. The navigation and signage for the hotel was terrible. The hotel valet parking is on the Main Street level, but our GPS took us to the parking garage underneath. The next set of directions took us to the entrance of the Lafayette Plaza, but we saw no signs for how to get to their front door. We finally had to call and thankfully the sent someone down to the parking garage to help us. Aside from that, super convenient to the metro, Smithsonian’s, Spy Museum and the Wharf. We plan to stay here again if we need an overnight in DC. Also helpful that you can drop off your car before checking and leave it until 4 the day you checkout.
