    comfy bed
    spacious bathroom
    elevator malfunction

    The bed was blissfully comfy, and I adored the spacious work desk and bathroom. The room felt so secluded, like my own little retreat! Plus, the digital safe kept my secrets safe from prying eyes.

    However, I had a bit of an elevator adventure when it refused to work properly. I nearly became a local legend for my dramatic exit via the stairs!

    great staff but room could use some updates

    The staff made check-in a breeze with their friendly demeanor. I felt well cared for when they efficiently helped me retrieve my forgotten bag from the valet.

    The room, while spacious, felt a bit outdated in decor.

    Cozy room, spacious bathroom, with great amenities like a large work desk and flat-screen TV. Convenient access to a fitness center for a quick workout before exploring the area.

    comfy bed
    cozy lounge area
    hot tub
    limited bath towels

    The bed in my room was super comfy, and I loved that there was a cozy lounge area to unwind in after a long day. The hot tub by the pool was a perfect spot to relax and melt the stress away. A minor issue was the limited bath towels, but overall, I had a lovely stay! 😊

    Comfortable stay with great staff

    I really enjoyed my time here, especially the comfortable bed and the helpful staff who made my experience smoother. The amenities, like the mini fridge and complimentary water, were nice touches that enhanced my stay. While I appreciated the overall experience, I wish they had more parking options that didn't require valet service.

    comfortable bed
    convenient location
    hvac view
    water pooling
    high price

    The room had a comfortable bed and was equipped with a fridge, a microwave, and a coffee machine with coffee and tea pods, enhancing the stay. However, a room facing the HVAC system was disappointing despite requesting a view of the Capital, and the shower's design led to water pooling near the door. The location is convenient for exploring shops and restaurants, making free street parking available over the weekend quite useful.
