Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location was outstanding, allowing easy access to major sights in Washington. The rooms, although clean and comfortable, had some issues with temperature control. The service was friendly and top-notch, especially considering the older building. However, the dining options were lacking, and the facilities showed signs of wear and tear.
