Great hotel for families. Best outdoor pool in DC. Appreciate parking has in/out privileges and self parking. Rate for overnight parking is consistent with other DC hotels. Walk to everything. We have stayed here multiple times.

The staff was exceptional. Very polite, helpful and friendly. The pool was clean and at a nice temperature. The pool bar amazing food. The location to the White House and museums is not that far of a walk in you like to walk. My son and I took Spin scooters which the cost added up over the three days- expensive but worth it in the sense I didn’t have a whining kid walking in the heat with me. Ate at Code Red- a little farther away from the hotel but exceptional food. We had half the menu and everything was delicious. Recommending you Check it out. The hotel room was oddly designed not best nor that spacious but for the location and pool made up for it. The bed was comfy. Parking at the hotel is expensive but there is no where to park in DC so worth it. You have in and out privileges so you can take your car but public transportation would be better than paying parking prices elsewhere.

The staff was very attentive to every detail. We were greeted and seen off by staff stationed at the door each time. We were offered umbrellas as we ventured out during inclement weather. We had our own, so we declined. We did not dine in, nor use the bar area, but we had breakfast at the hotel daily. The food was very good, enough options for us, including gluten free toast. The wait staff was exceptional. Housekeeping came in and refreshed/cleaned the room daily. Including the small coffee they provide in each room. I used it very early in the day, and was trying to be quiet as I didn’t want to wake my family. I intended to clean it prior to leaving for our day’s events, but in the sake of time, decided to do it upon our return. Prior to coming back, they cleaned the room, bathroom, the coffee maker and possibly changed our bedding, as the beds were not as we made them in the morning. They have a ballroom for events, and a large are for business meetings. There were also 2 small areas near the elevators for business or just sitting in an area that is not your room. There is a large outdoor pool area, which was not yet open for the season. but was clean and well kept. There is a small gym area with a few machines, yoga mats, weighted balls, foam roller, towels and bottles of water. They also leave water in the room after cleanup. We were more than satisfied with our stay, and would like to extend our appreciation to each and every staff member.

The best pool scene ever! I came specifically to spend a weekend with my kid at your pool. Wonderful crowd, accommodating staff, good food and drink. It’s an annual summer destination.

We had a great stay at this hotel. We booked two rooms for our family and both were very clean. The hotel was well situated close to the National Mall and we were able to walk there. Parking was on the expensive side but was self parking with in and out privileges. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

The property was very good for families. Our room was clean and nice but very humid...bathing suits didn't dry out over night in our room when hung up. The pool was great, open till 9 made it a great stop after all the walking around. Food was very good. The service at the poolside bar was slow for drinks but quicker for a cold beer. Overall a great spot. A bit far for walking to the National Mall etc but def doable.
