Ananias

Disliked: Staff & service
Booked this location from Fri thru Mon. But midway thru our stay we realized how terrible the road conditions would be as DC was expecting 10 inches of snow beginning Sunday night. So I went to the front desk and asked if we left early, could we get a partial refund for the unused night? The front desk told me yes if we were out by 4pm. That heavily influenced our decision to leave early and we packed and checked out. After checking out, we were THEN told that a refund wasn’t possible since we used a 3rd party site. Hotels.com chat said that wasn’t true and it lead to a huge back and forth that resulted in 0 results. Terrible to not help your customers when a severe winter storm was coming. Not staying here again and I’m hesitant to ever use Hotels.com again.

Lots of dogs. Big dogs. Barking dogs. The property was in a good location and was a good value at the time I booked, although the resort fee is a ripoff. Just charge a fair price for the room.

It is clean, and the location is excellent. When I arrived, I struggled with my luggage at the door and there was no employee around for assistance. It was noisy at midnight in the rooms surrounding me but those occupying those rooms did settle down not long after that.

Great value & incredible location
Room was clean, spacious, bed and linens sumtuous, bathroom lovely. Coffee and bottled water provisions were provided in abundant proportions. We were disappointed with the 11:00am check out which I found to be especially early. I'd stay here again gladly, even not withstanding my disappointment being kicked out so early.

Amazing place sneaky prices
Loved the Royal Sonesta but man they snuck on so many fees that my stay costed double what we were estimated. Thought I had a good deal but ended up feeling burned in the end. This ain’t to say it wasn’t worth the money but we maybe have looked at other places knowing the end cost.
