THE FIRST ROOM I WAS ASSIGNED TO FACED OTHER ROOM WITH NO PRIVACY OR VIEW AT ALL I HAVE TO COMPLAIN AND I WAS CHANGED TO ANOTHER ROOM MUCH BIGGER AND WITH NATURAL LIGHT. WHICH WAS MY ONLY REQUEST WHEN I MADE THE BOOKING. THE FRONT DESK WAS ALWAYS CROWDED, WITH A MAXIMUM OF 2 PEOPLE WORKING DURING THE DAY AND A LINE OF PEOPLE WAITING. I DIDNT LIKE THE SERVICE.

Cool digs

The hotel gave me a large room on an upper floor and a daily food credit. I also made use of one of the bikes on two days. Great way to get around DC. Staff was helpful over all. Restaurant is a bit expensive but good. Gym is solid.
