Disliked: Amenities
Linens for sofa were in pretty bad shape.
Maintenance was needed (light switch broken fixed with packing tape).
No shelves or drawers in the bathroom.
Furniture showed wear and tear.
Very spacious with kitchenette.
Very good location in high end area walking distance from Georgetown
Great location! Some confusion on checking in as no one at the front desk and no text message as with other Placemakr sights. Parking also not clear until we asked the front desk assistant

Good location
The communication from the hotel was good. We could not check in 2 hours early without pay additional money. The shower leak on the floor so bad that it took all the towels to dry thr floor. The hotel was told about it and said the would address it. They only gave us new towels. The shower had a lot of mold in it and you can tell it had been there for a while. The shower still leaked the next day. The heat stopped working the second day. Thank goodness it was not that cold outside. We told the staff and still was not working when we left.
The staff were nice and helpful with knowledge of the area.

Unacceptable stay accommodation
No air in room. Apparently front desk staff knew. When I gave the feedback was told “yes it’s an old building and that room only has heat”.
I couldn’t sleep. Was there for business meetings. Impacted my sleep exponentially.
Additionally, the room had a strong odor or body order and food. the sheets were also quite dirty and I had to flip them over.
I liked the apartment that has a kitchen and its utensils so you can cook something if you want, very quiet, my children and I felt calm in the area. I loved that it is close to everything there in the area, 6 minutes from the White House and the other attractions that most would like to explore.

Friendly front desk staff help with switching rooms.
It was most horrible experience... I checkin at 8PM and am told there will be no water supply from 9am next morning due to water company maintenance work. They could have tried to inform me this in advance instead of waiting till I land and checkin. Thought its out of tbeir hands and was conisderte. Then once checked inx I realized the hot water is not working st all... To make matters worst, the bathroom sink wasnt even drsining water... With a small kid and very tired from travels, i was stuckin a room that literally had no water facility for tje whole duration .. On informing the receptionist she said they hav called a repairmain who never turned up whole night and next day morning till we checked out either. Not even one word of apology let alone compensation. Zero empathy towards customers. They could have atleast offered a different room so that we could have atleast used the sink and shower before water was cut off. None of us could even take a bath after a long transatlantic flight. Horrible experience and its an apathy. Avoid.

Canceled room
The hotel canceled my room less than two hours before check in. Due to an event in town there were no comparable rooms available for less than double the price. Won't be booking here again.
