"The suites are quitw large. Free breakfasts are good, but happy hours have too few food items. The bathroom shower stall has a commendable number of safety rails and a seat to make showers quite safe. It would be helpful for the bathrooms to have fans and drying lights. The entrances close at 10;00 pm or 11;00 PM. There is a need for clearer instructions on how to get the attention of front desk on a different floor. Security should keep non-guests away from these doors"

8/10 Good
"It’s nice to see an Historic hotel still vibrant in downtown DC. I like the feel of the place. With that said it’s missing a lot of hotel amenities I’ve gotten used to….from a refrigerator in your room, a dresser for your clothes , a bottled water or two and an ice machine in the hallway. There were a lot of conveniences missing. Then there’s $59 a day for valet parking ….unless you were fortunate enough to find a spot on the street. I would shop around a little bit and read the amenities before choosing so you’re not disappointed."
