Sinks didn't drain properly. They need a plumber. Poor housekeeping. Bed not made correctly. Feathers everywhere from feather bed. Trashy poorly maintained. No wake up call as requested. Outrageous fees for vehicle storage.

So close to everything. All the good restaraunts where a 5-15 minute walk. Very close to all the historical attractions. Staff was excellent. Only downside was our room was 8 ft from an office building so we had zero view and thus the room was dark.

The front desk staff, from Alexander to his colleagues were so very welcoming and accommodating. They made me and my wife feel like VIPs from the moment we stepped onto the property. Location is beyond stellar and nearby cafes and restaurants were all superb.

A beautiful hotel two blocks from the White House and just a short walk to the National Mall. Lots of dining options close by and an easy area to catch an Uber or taxi. The entire staff is very friendly and eager to help. Will certainly stay at this hotel again.
