We were in and out in less than a day, so unfortunately we didn't get to test out ALL of the amentities but - - - we sure did get a lot accomplished in 1 day.
If you are planning on coming to DC to do the touristy things, this is a great catch. It is affordable, clean enough, the staff was friendly, it is local to a lot of main attractions. Some in walking distance, others, just a short Lyft or Uber ride.
Things we were able to do/ see in an Uber ride for well under 20 bucks each, or walk to:
-The US Capitol Building and Gardens (beautifully lit, quiet and almost romantic at night)
-The Library of Congress (all 3 buildings)
-The Lincoln Memorial, reflective pool and National Monument (again, all stunning in the evening)
-Dinner and Drinks on M Street
-The Smithsonian (got about 3 museums accomplished)
I called and asked if we could check-in early, as we arrived to town a bit sooner than later and we were promised a room ready immediately, for NO extra charge! The valet was lovely. Everyone with a smile on their face.
Check in and out were easy. Do yourself a favor and just go ahead and do the $62 valet, there is no sense in lugging your bags across that busy street and you aren't really going to move your car much anyway, unless you are planning on driving far and then paying ANOTHER fee for ANOTHER garage.
If you are looking for a boutique vibe, I mean, this is an older hotel and has some character. Plus, having access to the restaurant and bar downstairs directly connected, is really cool. But don't expect anything "special" in your room. It comes with the absolute necessities, so if you plan on spending time in your room for any reason, maybe not the place for you. For us, we needed to change, sleep, shower and have a safe place for our things.
I'd certainly stay again.
