We had a car which is really a negative in the city. The hotel parking is expensive and parking is always difficult (husband is DC native, and we lived in NOVA for many years). It is better to use Metro and Uber, but our circumstances were not amenable to that. We had no complaints about the hotel at all. Our room was quiet and well-appointed and we enjoyed a lovely weekend for a family wedding.

Staff especially were so welcoming and helpful. The hotel is clearly new in terms of finishes and general freshness, but it's also kept clean. The restaurant/bar was fantastic (French bistro, but elevated a bit), and there is pleasant outdoor seating for those of us who cannot afford to get covid. Rooms are huge and well appointed, and even the dreary atrium view was easy to ignore with the comfort of the bed and couches. (Although next time I would probably upgrade to a better view.) The noise transfer from the hallway and from other rooms wasn't ideal--but you can't hear people or televisions in other rooms, just bumping/contact with walls/doors/shelves. So it's better than most places in that regard. Taking clothes off hangers caused the hangers to hit the back wall of the wardrobe, so maybe putting some fabric or felt at the back would help with that--I heard my neighbors do it and I did it too. The only other thing that wasn't perfect was the price of valet parking, which is high for the area, especially with so much parking nearby. But the valet was extremely efficient and kind (and it was the same person all three days and nights, which is a rough schedule! I would have been grouchy and he was not). Fantastic stay--I just point these things out because the hotel is relatively new and sometimes that feedback is helpful.

Was not the level of a hotel that we expected. Check in was at 4 we could not check in till 5. The room size and option we paid for was not what we got we got the smallest room they had. There is no room service and Expedia has that listed as an amminty. There is no sodas or snack options at all no where in the building. Felt like we were deceived by Expedia and the hotel. Not my idea of a five star hotel .

Nice hotel, terrible parking
Great hotel but the parking situation is a nightmare. They are contracted with a parking company and both try to pass the blame to one another when something goes wrong. Will not stay here again solely based on how bad the parking is.
