Hotel not bad

Unfortunately the room service app wasn’t working. Was unable to order food. Valet parking was not very organized. Overall the hotel was fine.

Valet was full, finding parking was terrible especially after hours. All the garages within walking distance were closed to being full and finding parking on the street was even worse.

The location can't be beat. The room was a bit older, but there was plenty of light (interior view of another building though). It did have an odd shape to it, kind of an L - which is fine, but made the TV at one end, and the bed at another. In my room, there was limited workspace, so I wasn't able to work in the room much - went to a cafe instead. I have walked by this hotel many times during trips to DC but never stayed. For the price, there are better options if what you're looking for is the best appointed room. But if you're needing to be right by the White House it's a solid option.
