Staff were amazing and property was very clean and comfortable! There are a lot of restaurant choices in this area that are within walking distance ,also! Parking was a bit pricey but you are able to come and go at your leisure. The parking across the street was cheaper but does not allow re-entry without paying again. Would definitely go back!

Beautiful hotel in prime location - lots of restaurants and near White House and other sights. The decor is very feminist - lobby has floor to ceiling mosaic of RBG and my room had a Sotomayor pillow. I didn’t mind because I like that but if it bothers you - be forewarned.
