Loved the hotel, one night we had 2 separate disturbances outside of our door and I had to call security, the last night we were there our room wasn’t cleaned very well, trash in bath not dumped, toilet not cleaned and coffee supplies not replenished correctly, not what I expected after the money I paid for the room.

Very welcoming
We had a great time. The front desk staff was kind and let out kids select room key cards, which they loved. The hotel was very clean, the lobby, elevators, our room too. I noticed housekeeping out different times of day. They did a great job of keeping everything clean. The doorman held the doors, everyone smiled and it was very welcoming.

Quick Stay
Came in for a quick weekend trip. Room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Staff was helpful. Location was good, not far from sites. Walking distance from the train station and a short trip car ride from DCA. We had breakfast at the restaurant and food was pretty good. Doors at night are secured.

Didn’t sleep well- Atrium Gallery View
Service was incredible, 5 star!! Location and ambience were also great! Room was fine. I was in an Atrium Gallery View room which means that you have a window over a conference room. That part was fine, but the light is on all night long and the curtains do not block the light very well and I didn’t sleep that well. The other issue was the thermostat. I set the temp to 65 but it never got below 70. I would definitely not stay in the Atrium gallery view again but can’t speak to other parts of the hotel.

I came in on a train that was 8 hrs late and I was unable
To get to my vehicle at BWI. I made a reservation at the last minute and arrived close to midnite. I do wish hotels would
Recognize the short 1 night stays and accommodate
With better value. This was my first time at this locations and don’t desk service was excellent. I also did breakfast which was good but I wasn’t allowed to get what I wanted as I was told it wouldn’t be available until a certain time even though ot was on the menu.
