Reviewed by Sharon W. of Strasburg of VA USA on Jul-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jul-2007 The rooms in this hotel are nice. The bed was wonderful and the view fantastic. However, they advertise a check-in time of 3:00 p.m. and didn't have the rooms ready until well after 4:00 p.m. I found this irritating and inconvenient. The restaurant was rather mediocre, as well. |

| Pros: | Beds and view |

Reviewed by Harry A. of New York of NY USA on Jul-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jul-2007 My room was clean and big. Only stayed there for one night but the hotel was better than I expected. The staff was good but could've been a little more attentive. i.e. I put my car in the garage (which I paid $* for one night extra). I called to have the car ready for me when I got downstairs and it was not. They didn't get my car for another 10 minutes. But that's not too bad. I would definately return to the hotel. |

Given the impression that we were 'second class' guests because we had booked with Travel agent. Manager stated that we could not get a late checkout because we had been 'upgraded'. We had booked online their 10% 'summer discount' offer. Evening meal was good, service was fine, but at Sunday Brunch, requested a table in the shade, but were told that it was reserved, when in fact no one sat there the entire time that we had our meal.

Reviewed by Lauren H. of Alexandria of VA USA on Jun-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jun-2007 Thin walls in rooms. Woke up around 3 am and heard the TV next door word for word. I contacted the front desk, who called the room to get it turned off. The guests did not answer the phone. X (front desk clerk) said "Well they must be really drunk. I'm sorry." Got to sleep around 6 am or so. To make it worse, valet parking was mandatory. We called ahead to have our car ready at checkout. When we got downstairs, we had to wait for 15 minutes (they had not pulled the car out). Notified the front desk as we were left about what had happened. No attempt to rectify situation. |

Bathroom very small, but still workable. Good value for the price we paid. Two blocks from the shops and restaurants of Connecticut Ave., walking distance to White House. Nice bar on premises, too. At least one of the two elevators was out throughout our 5-day visit. Overall, though, we'd stay there again as it's a good price for DC. |

Bathroom very small, but still workable. Good value for the price we paid. Two blocks from the shops and restaurants of Connecticut Ave., walking distance to White House. Nice bar on premises, too. At least one of the two elevators was out throughout our 5-day visit. Overall, though, we'd stay there again as it's a good price for DC. |

Not their fault, but sounded like they were in my room, the walls of my room did not extend to the true ceiling, but only to the false ceiling. Noise was awful. Requested a room change, which was allowed. New room was better, but could hear every door that closed down the hall ALL NIGHT and heard many TV stations thru the ventilation system. Bring ear plugs or a noise machine to this hotel. |

Reviewed by Deanna D. of Washington, D.C. of on Jul-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jun-2007 Requested adjacent rooms - did not get them. Given the impression that we were 'second class' guests because we had booked with Travel agent. Manager stated that we could not get a late checkout because we had been 'upgraded'. We had booked online their 10% 'summer discount' offer. Evening meal was good, service was fine, but at Sunday Brunch, requested a table in the shade, but were told that it was reserved, when in fact no one sat there the entire time that we had our meal. We had the impression that it was because we had our grandson. Air conditioner not working properly in either suite. |

I contacted the front desk, who called the room to get it turned off. The guests did not answer the phone. X (front desk clerk) said "Well they must be really drunk. I'm sorry." Got to sleep around 6 am or so. To make it worse, valet parking was mandatory. We called ahead to have our car ready at checkout. When we got downstairs, we had to wait for 15 minutes (they had not pulled the car out). Notified the front desk as we were left about what had happened. No attempt to rectify situation. |

Reviewed by Mary D. of on Nov-2006 Stayed at the Property - Dec-2005 I rarely request a room change, first room was OK until people next door checked in. Not their fault, but sounded like they were in my room, the walls of my room did not extend to the true ceiling, but only to the false ceiling. Noise was awful. Requested a room change, which was allowed. New room was better, but could hear every door that closed down the hall ALL NIGHT and heard many TV stations thru the ventilation system. Bring ear plugs or a noise machine to this hotel. |
