Poor explanation of parking.

For the good part of the review. The location is fine. Metro is only a 20 min walk. Youre very near nationals park and the mall Good choices on dining options in the area. The parking situation is ridiculous. They charge you 38.00 a night for parking once you check in and in addition they charged another fee when i was leaving the hotel garage. I would think the hotel parking would be

Do not stay here, I paid for two rooms for two nights each. When my son arrived later in the evening. They charged him for the two nights even though i paid for his room along with mine. I had to go and argue with the staff at the front desk before he was refunded his money back to his credit card. No apology and no accountability on their part. Thankfully I found out or they would have kept his money as well as mine. We didn't stay the second night by the way. Pitiful

Had to pay the parking and taxes separately which i was not expecting. I thought i had it all paid upfront. And also if you have a hotel room the parking should be free.

Pretty alright, very convenient location but everything else was quite inconsistent. The desk, bed, TV, and such were spotless in my room, but there was a bulb in the left side bedside table lamp that kept flickering, and what looked like old snot or (hopefully not) blood on the outside of the toilet paper roll? Also the showerhead pressure was kind of bad, but the temperature itself was consistent and very easy to get just as hot or cold as you'd like—also, the haircare and soap dispensers were a very nice touch even if they hadn't been refilled (though none of them were empty) and made it much more convenient to shower. May steal that idea for home honestly.

Great for what we needed

2 of 3 Elevators were broken so it made for longer waits but otherwise it was good service and airport shuttle service. Quick access to airport and friendly drivers helped.

Upon checking in, only 1 of 3 elevators were working. Once in room, room had a terrible musty odor. Mold on bathroom floor. TV would not turn on, however, maintenance was prompt and fixed timely. Thankfully we were only here for one night due to a canceled flight. I would not have stayed here if we were staying more than overnight. I was pretty surprised because the reviews I read online prior did not indicate any of the above.

Our flight was delayed so we had to book one night at a hotel. This one was close to the airport so we decided to stay. Check in was quick and easy, the staff were helpful and kind, and we had a little later checkout which was perfect. They also had an airport shuttle which was convenient.
