The location is ideal! A lot of restaurants very close and walkable distance for the tourists places. Clean and nice rooms. The staff was very friendly and communicative. Although for the end of the season (winter) the city does not allow the hotel to use heat they provide us a couple of warmers and solve the problem. There are parking spots at the property. My family wanted to stay again !

The staff was very friendly. The room was really nice and clean. The only minus was the draft from the windows so it was a bit chilly in the room. The location is convenient with short walk to metro, shops, restaurants etc.

Hotel room was clean, the view from the 7th floor was great, all staff members that I interacted with were kind and helpful, and the 24-hour snack area was much needed. I would definitely stay here again for a staycation and would recommend to a friend or family member.

Quality hotel expectations within unique boutique digs— I wish I’d discovered this foggy bottom gem sooner during my regular K!center trips over the years. Great spot, awesome staff, quiet and classic neighborhood. I always appreciate a place with historic personality and tasteful updates, it’s difficult to find them anymore even in DC.
The room brochure alluded to new Marriott branding end of March, so hopefully they retain the integrity of the place, even against the menacing competition of the other Marriott across the street, etc. etc.
Highly recommend, will return!

Room was very clean and the staff were friendly. The water pressure in the shower left some to be desired. The tv volume in our room barely functioned. We had to turn it to max and have captions on in order to semi-understand understand our show. The room’s climate control is controlled by the building as a whole which was a bit frustrating as the room was stuffy and our only recourse was to open the windows which didn’t have screens.
Beds were comfy and as preciously stated, clean.
