Wonderful stay! I chose this location based on its close proximity to the metro, but this hotel exceeded our expectations. It was spotlessly clean, the staff went our of their way to be friendly and to make our stay comfortable, and the breakfast was wonderful. We also appreciated the wine and cheese night on Wednesday and the luggage storage. A huge plus is that it was a quiet hotel. Thanks for a great stay!

Hotel was extremely accommodating of our late check in. Room was lovely and clean with very comfortable bed. Coffee making facilities was great and coffee was in our room was much better than the coffee served with the breakfast which was disappointing. Limited choice and the hot options were far from hot. Overall a good hotel, with very helpful staff but the breakfast let it down.

Good location. Staff was nice. Breakfast attendant was outstanding. Breakfast food was good. Needed medicine but the hotel supply cabinet was out. Room description said we had a microwave but we didn’t so we had to eat out more often rather than heating up leftovers. That was disappointing. Overall ok stay.

The hotel is in excellent condition, with lovely decor that is classic with modern accents. It was a very easy walk to the riverfront and dining. Staff as professional and helpful. I never heard anyone else while in our room. The price was reasonable for a nice place with breakfast.
