A colleague and I traveled to DC for a major conference in late October/early November. Everything seemed above average, bellman was prompt to help us with our luggage, front desk was apologetic about slow computer at check in, and amazingly their hotel food was pretty decent. The first problem is when we entered the actual room. While the room was a decent size for a downtown location and very clean, it smelled incredibly musty/moldy. Even my travel companion who does not have allergy problems needed benadryl every night to avoid getting sick. Midway through our stay both of our cards were deactivated at the same time (highly doubt our fault) and room service failed to deliver part of a meal. Checkout was a pain in the butt. We asked if we could split the bill the front desk said it wasn't a problem but it took them almost 20min to do so; meanwhile the bellman put our bags in a taxi so we had to had to pay for the wait time.
Few tips:
- The hotel is not in the best location - it seemed safe but plan on walking a lot
- Don't plan to take the metro to get around from the hotel - the 3 closest stations are about .5 miles away.
- The closest connivence store is 3 blocks away
- Not a lot of restaurants close by (luckily the hotel had decent food)
