A terrible hotel experience--we would never stay here again!
--We reserved a Deluxe King room months in advance and we were given room with twin beds. We were told that ,despite our written confirmation, room type is never guaranteed and that there were no other rooms available in the hotel that night. With no other options, we took the room.
--The King room they moved us to the next day was immediately adjacent to some kind of enormous HVAC unit or mechanical room. The deafening noise and vibrations --the entire room shook--were unbearable. We were miserable and had terrible sleep. Room 15-122. Beware.
--The breakfast buffet was terrible and outrageously priced. We made that mistake once.
--Drinks in bar were obscenely overpriced as well. This is not a swanky bar scene either...it's a tiny pub.
--The concierge was not particularly knowledgeable nor helpful. We sought restaurant help (there are no dining establishments around the hotel at all) and were given a list of mediocre restaurants (with which she was not familiar) and a map. You'd do far better on Zagat's.
--The rooms/bathrooms are tired, drab, and not particularly clean. The towels are like sandpaper. Neither the room nor the bathroom were well-lit.
--the TV was a crappy old set that got just a handful of channels and had terrible reception
I would have been unhappy if this had been a bargain...but at these rates, I was downright pissed. We could have spent FAR less and had a much better experience elsewhere.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Yes, it is convenient to the Metro, but DC is a great walking city and you'd do fine elsewhere. There are other hotels by Metro stops! Avoid this one! !
