Excellent four day visit. I like the combination of an updated older hotel. Everyone at the hotel was both very service oriented but also really friendly. Nice rooms and beds. Convenient location. Also enjoyed the wine happy hour. Only issue is that our room was somewhat close to the garbage pickup which brought some noise. Will stay here next time in dc

The hotel is in a nice neighborhood, walking distance to restaurants, the metro and some sites. Staff were friendly. I liked the room pretty spacious, included a kitchenette with a coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge. The kitchenette did not have any cutlery or dinnerware which was pretty surprising and disappointing. Housekeeping though polite kept forgetting to return the same number of items they took to change out. We started with 2 coffee mugs, 2 days later left us with only one. Same for the wash cloths and towels. Overall a good exeperience, it was my birthday at check in and they provided wine and cake which was really nice. I would stay there again.

Historic, good location, knowledgeable friendly staff. They have complimentary coffee time with fruit-infused water always available and offer a welcoming wine hour in the evenings! The rooms are lovely, modern & well kept. Mini-fridge but no microwave. Many free amenities available if you've forgotten yours, but ask early on. They tend to run out. Pricey but great restaurant on premises. Totally recommend this hotel!!
