    Great vibe with some things to improve especially for families

    Check-in experience was "rough". First the elevator was not working (to enter you need to walk up stairs which is difficult with bags and stroller). We requested room with baby crib during booking, which was confirmed. Then, through mariott bonvoy app, on day of our arrival, we contacted front desk to make sure the room is ready for us including the crib and we also did online checkin and requested mobile key as our flight was delayed and we knew we needed to put our baby to sleep. We didn't get any response. When we arrived, the crib was not ready. They also charged our credit card twice as a security. Machine showed PIN OK and then "Approved", receptionist said that it certainly didn't go through and that due error we need to try again. It was charged twice which I showed to receptionist. She apologised and called a manager to correct and refund. Unfortunately, manager, instead of apologising and acknowledging the mistake (which would be ok), tried to persuade us that it was not a mistake and that the 1st security was for 1st night and 2nd is for 2nd night. This made no sense - we stayed more than two nights and I cannot imagine staying for example for 14 nights and charging 14 times. Of course, the charge made by mistake was released few days later (the original, correct one is still on hold, in line with expectations and best practice in similar hotels). We also struggled with breakfast - we booked room rate with breakfast - again at first they said we didn't, we showed proof we did and then we got 2 vouchers instead of 3 (we were 2 adults 1 child). The voucher said any 3 items from menu so we were assured we will have no issues. However, on breakfast they told us it's limited to one meal per voucher. In the end we got 3 meals for free but we would prefer not to have argue every morning. Honestly, probably if we would travel in two, above mentioned issues wouldn't happen and we could give one extra point.

    Both common areas and rooms are nicely designed. The breakfast were tasty and staff mostly tried their best. Very nice touch was to get "bedside" reading book - you can actually take it with you if you were not able to finish reading during your stay - really appreciated! Downstairs you find nice playroom (for adults, not children) and gym, on the rooftop nice bar and pool. Vibe of the hotel is very nice.

    There were no towels in my room when I arrived. The pillows are very soft & mushy , don’t do much to provide support to the head and neck. Entering the hotel from the street is a very large stairway . It’s difficult to navigate with luggage . There was help maybe half the time.

    The location is a block from my daughters place , very convenient. The hotel is very clean and uncluttered. The staff was friendly , polite and helpful -

    Cooling system of the hotel is very noisy resulting in continuous background noise in the rooms, especially when it is very hot outside and the aircons are intensely running. Difficult to sleep for light sleepers.

    I have been a guest at 4th of July multiple times. This year they outsourced the rooftop party and never informed us that extra cost and tickets were needed. This ruined our experience. The pool was dirty. We had to see fireworks from area with no breeze and older furniture. A/c didn’t work well in room. Bed too soft.

    The room was nice. The bed was good, but not great. Made a creaking sound each time I got on it. It was a little stiff for me.

    Friendly staff, and very good service. Great location and area. Nice room, clean and in very good condition. Lobby and other areas were very good. Price was fare for the property.

    I did not like cleanliness of the playroom on L2. It was dirty and while we enjoyed the scrabble, the Atari game was broken. The only other games you could play on a rainy day was table tennis or foosball.

    We enjoyed the rooftop pool, that was a nice differentiator between other hotels in the neighborhood. Location was very convenient, close to the Metro station and attractions could be in a walkable range. Gym was well equipped.

    There was hair from the previous visitor on the bathroom floor, which makes me think that they could have done a better job cleaning before the next visitor arrives. And the bathroom towels smelled a little weird, they were clean though. In addition, the curtains were old and ripped, they should definitely change them for some new ones.

    The location is amazing, one of my favorite neighborhoods in DC. The staff was friendly and helpful. Great coffee in the downstairs cafe. Comfortable bed.

    The rooftop closed for the rest of the night after a little rain. the rain didn’t even last a half hour and was closed at 5. I booked this place for my birthday mainly for the rooftop.

    The place was beautiful. The staff was extremely friendly. Kudos to the bartender at the main bar. he stayed after his shift to make up for the rooftop being closed to ensure I enjoyed my birthday!!!! Thank you !!!

    Comfortable and convenient hotel with some service issues.

    Our main problem was with the air conditioning - it was so loud when it was running and although we turned the thermostat up to the highest temperature (78 degrees) in an effort to run it as little as possible, it still ran enough to be annoying, even in the middle of the night. Another problem arose when we tried to visit the "coffee shop" for cups of tea at 4pm. The coffee shop turned out to be the bar, and we were told that the person who made the tea wasn't there so we'd have to wait till he got back. Meanwhile, we had a 5pm wedding to attend, so we asked the bar tender for tea. He obliged very reluctantly as if it wasn't his job, which was not very nice for us and afterwards we didn't feel like going back. We breakfasted outside the hotel the next morning instead.

    The location of this hotel was excellent as we had a wedding to attend at the Anderson House, 1 minute away. The room was comfortable, especially the bed. The bathroom was pretty small but the shower in the bathtub was great.
