Earplugs are Neccessary for a Good Night's Rest
Due to the close proximity of George Washington Hospital, you will hear ambulance sirens throughout the day and into the evening. There is also quite a bit of general street noise in this area, so it's important for you to travel with earplugs to ensure a restful night.
negative:
Room Updates Needed
This hotel is a bit dated and tired, and the furnishings are beginning to show wear and tear. Simple maintenance issues like taking care of clogged drains can improve the bathroom experience, while updating torn wallpaper and replacing stained carpets will go a long way in making this hotel feel a little more up to date.
negative:
Parking Options are Limited
Unfortunately like most large cities, onsite parking at hotels is a bit expensive and this hotel is no exception. There are limited parking options on nearby streets so if a car is not necessary for your travels, you can save money and stress by taking public transportation.
