The staff was amazing, kind, flexible, professionals. The location was perfect for us. The room exceeded our expectations. We didn’t hear any noise and it was super clean. The rooftop pool was small but we never felt it was crowded. The gym was very well equipped and had excellent views. We stayed 3 nights and I wish I had stayed longer. We will be back!

Great stay for family visit

Hotel was great for our short family trip to DC. Very easy walk to the mall, great location at the wharf with restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream, and water taxi. My kids loved the board games available in the lobby. We also loved the rooftop pool, bummed it closed so earty (6pm) and the pool bar was closed the day we were up there but we were able to bring up drinks from the hotel bar downstairs. And as also noted in other reviews the elevators are very slow, not a big issue for us though. All staff were great, very helpful and made sure our stay was great. Highly recommend for families! Will be back!

I did not like that the room was not properly cleaned. Hair was found in bathtub and shower wall and headboard dust was so thick it fell onto pillow while sleep. This was extremely disappointing. There were to many calls made to concierge to resolve 1 issue. I do however appreciate head of concierge who made early check in possible, and made sure my husband had a warm welcome for his birthday. That was a nice touch we greatly appreciate.

Nice Play to Stay

Overall, I thing the hotel rooms were very good. Everything was clean and the staff was always willing to help. I wish they would add some type of continental breakfast. Yes they have a restaurant that you could get a breakfast, but 36.00 for eggs, sausage, potatoes and toast is a little steep. We got a 35.00 credit to use as we please for whatever in the hotel, but there is a 35.00 resort fee that I feel negates the credit. I would stay there again but now I am better informed.

Great hotel

Perfect location. Able to walk to all of the bars and restaurants along the wharf. Parking was expensive, so plan for that. Only negative is the rooftop pool has very few lounge chairs and no shade at all. Close to the water taxi so you could easily go to the national Harbor. All in all a great hotel and I would def stay here again!
