The hotel offers spacious and luxurious suites with new furniture and new bathrooms/kitchens, perfect for families. Despite not matching the online appearance, the rooms are nice. The service is top-notch with a super friendly and accommodating staff, particularly appreciated by the military contingent staying there. The location is ideal for easy access to popular attractions via the nearby Metro station. The dining options are acceptable but could be improved with more variety. Overall, a good-value choice for a comfortable stay.

The hotel is situated in Arlington, a short walk to the Metro or Shuttle service, making it easy to access other monuments and Reagan Airport. The rooms are spacious, like an apartment, attached to the bathroom for getting ready. The service was exceptional, with staff willing to accommodate any requests. The location is hilly and not ideal for walking to DC attractions, but the front desk staff is always ready to assist. The dining experience was pleasant but could benefit from more options. The facilities are below standard but adequate for a comfy stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not so great experiences. The open-concept rooms were spacious and comfortable, perfect for a longer stay, but the crummy mattress was a downside. The service was top-notch, with a very helpful and responsive staff ready to assist with any issues, although the dining options weren't the best. The location was convenient for visiting museums and close to the Metro, yet not ideal for exploring DC attractions on foot. Overall, my stay provided good value for the money spent.

I made a last-minute decision to head to DC to capture the Cherry Blossoms and found this hotel to be a gem. The rooms are big with a larger than typical living room, spacious, and comfortable, including a full kitchen and hallway outside the bathroom for clothing hanging/storage. The service was extremely helpful and kind, but it was a bit loud in the morning. The location is fantastic, near to almost every important place in DC, just across the Potomac from DC. The dining experience was weak, primarily because of the strangely textured scrambled eggs and home fries, but fish and chips were good.

I decided on a last-minute trip to DC to capture the Cherry Blossoms and stayed in room 401, which felt more like a one-bedroom apartment with a dining table and kitchen. While it was convenient, being located by the back entrance of the hotel also meant it was close to the smoking area for staff and visitors, so there was some noise from people chatting and smoking until late evening. Overall, a spacious room but with some noise issues.
