Positive Reviews
positive:
Very good location
It was very rare indeed to find a guest who did not like the location of the hotel. Although not right in the very heart of tourist DC, guests mentioned preferring to stay near Du Pont Circle since there were great bars, restaurants and nightlife in the area. Also, the Mall, Capitol and other landmarks were said to be just a short metro ride away. It was very rare indeed to find a guest who

positive:
The convenience of the kitchenettes
It seems a fair number of guests actually made good use of the little kitchenettes that are included in each suite. Even if not preparing full meals, it seems that guests found them handy to prepare quick snacks, and so save having to seek out these elsewhere.
positive:
Good Wi-Fi
Considering this is something guests usually simply take for granted, a surprising number mentioned that they were impressed with the hotel’s Wi-Fi system. It seems that many guests were on government, or other, business and were relieved to find they had a reliable and fast connection.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Exceptionally expensive parking
Guests who had arrived by car were left in shock at the nightly price of parking. They conceded that they were in a very popular neighborhood in the nation’s capital, and so prices would be somewhat high, but still thought that the parking rates at the hotel and other nearby locations were simply unbelievably high.
negative:
Uncomfortable sofa beds
A number of unfortunate guests relegated to the sofa beds reported that, perhaps like most sofa beds everywhere, the ones at this hotel were just not very comfortable. Some even woke up with a bit of a backache in the morning.
negative:
No issues reported
So far, no recent negative opinion has been expressed by guests about this hotel.
