the location proved convenient , especially due to the proximity to the metro station. a harris teeter store located next door was also quite useful.

fantastic stay!

great locationeasy walkvalet parkinghigh temperature
i totally loved how close it was to everything! it was an easy walk to the main attractions and a grocery store sat right next door for quick snacks. valet parking made arrival simple and i could grab my car quickly when leaving. the room had a fridge and a microwave which was really useful for leftovers!
the hotel was quite warm and i couldn't seem to adjust the temperature in my room. i tried turning off the thermostat but it barely made a difference. it felt a bit stuffy and i felt sick from the heat
