Why Stay There:
-Having a bedroom, kitchen and living room is fantastic when traveling.
-The front desk was helpful and courteous; Check-in was quick and easy
-Location is great - a block from the GWU metro; although it is a good 15 minute walk to Georgetown and the White House, it is only 2-3 streets and doesn't feel like that long
-Starbuck's and tea always free and available in the lobby is a nice touch
-Beds are comfortable
Why You May Consider Somewhere Else:
-For a room of that size, the bathroom is very small. It is efficiently stocked, but should be at least a few feet larger.
-This hotel used to be condos and the only set of elevators are used by all staff and patrons which means they get used a lot are are showing their age. I wanted to take WD-40 to the door to make it stop creaking.
-Overall the hotel is clean the way a teenager cleans their room - at first glance all is well until you begin really looking and you notice baseboards and less used furniture could use a really good dusting.
-The furniture in the room is getting very close to retirement.
-Parking is valet only (which I am fine with since the lot was probably not in the same building). It is 36.50 per day plus tax which makes it more than $40 per day. Paying for parking in major cities is just part of travel but I have seen nicer hotels closer to the city centre for less.
