Smithsonian's National Zoo Tours and Activities

There is no fridge in the room and the only ice is in the basement, so not very convenient. Front desk staff was friendly but even though they were a live person standing there I had to go to the terminal and check in electronically. It required me to put in my email and phone number even though that was provided when booking. I was also assured I would receive my receipt by email when I checked out electronically, which I did not. I had to follow up with the hotel separately to ask for my receipt and am still waiting.

I had a wonderful stay. This is a no-frills hotel/conference center. It's not an all "glammed-out" hotel. It is a nice, clean, basic hotel on the campus of a university. The campus is clean and quiet, and the neighborhood is as well. The front desk staff, as well as the cleaning staff, were friendly and helpful. The workout space was enjoyable. All in all, the hotel was perfect for a short trip. If you want fancy and artsy, this hotel is not the place for you. But if you want a clean and friendly environment, this is the place.
