We absolutely loved the place. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The location was perfect, close to Bank St. and walking distance to many restaurants and museums. We will stay there again. We did have a little trouble with all of the technology, pass codes etc. fortunately the staff was great about helping us.

Excellent location; walking distance to the Glebe and restaurants on Elgin. Hotel was very clean and staff were helpful.
My only concern was that there were a lot of homeless in the area asking for money.

Great Stay and Wonderful Location
Rooms were great. Clean, well equiped, and if we needed anything, it was handled right away. My only critic were that I found the pillows to be flat and uncomfortable, but thats the only negative thing I can say. Will definitly stay there again!!

Nice big room
Just a quick overnight stay and everything was good, lots of space , the only complaint is that the heating/cooling fan was crazy noisy, it woke me up each time it turned on, I guess it’s why there were ear plugs left on the nightstands for guests
