Loved the Juliet Suite! The staff was great, the room was perfectly clean housekeeping came and the shower and ropes …YES! Xo The art work, the fire pits, and the gym was all I wanted for a short bday trip. Parking- we did not pay for valet $$ we parked around the corner …yes it says only 2 hours but thankfully we got lucky the next morning with no ticket lol. DC was an easy 20 min drive, amazing food and drinks. It is on our list when we visit again

I recently stayed 2 times at this property and everyone there was friendly and curious. The last visit, my daughter accidentally left 2 very important pieces of jewelry in our room when we checked out. They were quickly recovered and returned to us. This is an exceptional example of the integrity of the team that makes this hotel special.
