I was staying there with my grand daughter because it was close to XNA. I got a suite with a fold out bed in the main room. There was also a separate bedroom. I pulled out the couch bed and there were no sheets or blankets. or pillows. I called the front desk. They brought sheets and a blanket up, but did not put them on the bed. They just droped them off. So we are at a hotel, and we had to put the sheets on the bed ourselves. Not exactly what you would expect at a hotel where you are paying almost $200 a night. And the pool and hot tub were still out of order for over a week.

Long time to check in. Also no one for 5 min was available to check out. Did not want to wait so left my keys and left. I wanted a proper check out since they wanted 100 dollar deposit and I could not do that without waiting. There also was a line of people trying to check out. Breakfast was good. I just did not care for the front desk.

Horrible

The neighborhood is HORRIBLE! Dilapidated buildings, businesses, homeless person lives in meridian in front of hotel. Walking in it smells musty. Hotel staff less than cordial. Smelled like marijuana most of the time along with musty. Room had peeling paint. Absolutely NO water pressure, we took showers in trickle of water. All furniture was extremely scratched, scraped, dented. We did NOT feel safe the entire visit. My wireless headphones left on the desk disappeared when we returned in the evening. Would not recommend! There are NO places to eat nearby. Difficult location to get in and out of.

The location to downtown DC wasn’t ideal, but it was worth the price of the room. Room was fine - comfy bed. The breakfast buffet wasn’t great as food was not replenished even though breakfast was far from over.

we stayed here for DC pride because it was the most okay looking hotel near the venue. when we woke up the next morning there was ants literally all over our room, in our food and bed. it was really gross. i let the woman and the front desk know and she literally just said “ok what room” and didn’t apologize or offer any kind of compensation.

Good overall stay with value for money

Smooth check in experience and stay at good location. However, the additional amount blocked in the card at the time of check in is still not returned despite follow ups. Also, we encountered a very rude staff on the day of check out in the breakfast area.
