10/10 Excellent

"No fridge. Have to pay for wifi. No late checkout, and the staff never relayed the dozen messages that were left for me when my phone broke. That said, it's a comfy bed in a beautiful location close to everything."

Yours Truly DC, Vignette Collection by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the mid century modern aesthetic. A nice cozy stay in the city. Rooms were comfy and spacious. Water stations on your floor were an awesome convenience. I’d love to check out their vinyl collection, to borrow in room, next time. Food was delicious with easy in room dinning. Staff were warm, welcoming and helpful. It was a quick overnight stay for an event but would definitely go back for a longer stay and experience all the amenities."
