This was an expensive hotel and we were underwhelmed by the service. Our room was not cleaned in a timely manner so we asked for it to be cleaned in the morning the next day, but they had not cleaned it be 3pm when we got back. The service in the bar was slow when we were seated outdoors. Disappointing. Also, the soundproofing between rooms was poor considering the recent refurbishment.

Wonderful hotel, great staff!!! It also has a great location and a shuttle to the VA waterfront. Rooms are nice and clean, but what makes this place is the staff! They are definitely top notch. Will stay here again perfect location right next to the convention center.
