"2 stars on maintenance: Shutting the pool down on Labor Day in DC was silly and disappointing (it was 90F in mid Sept). It was disclosed on their web site but still. An elevator wasn't working and apparently hadn't been for a while, causing multiple 5-10 minute waits & stair trips. A little urgency there would have helped. Otherwise EXCELLENT. Great value, good condition, generous and tasty breakfast, nice rooms, and excellent location, walking to the Mall and the Wharf. Friendly staff, The breakfast crew was busting butt with grace to keep tables clean and available. A good fitness room, I'd stay again. Pro tip: Park across the street at 400 Virginia Ave to pay $22 instead of $55 /day."

"Great staff. Always friendly and accommodating. Very nice lobby and public areas. Was able to check-in early. We had minor issues and they were attended to promptly. Never had a hotel react so quickly before. Breakfast was excellent. We used the breakfast area for carry-in dinner several evenings. Pull out bed was not comfortable though; we used an air mattress we brought with us. Overall would highly recommend."
