The staff were kind and helpful. I enjoyed my stay, it was relaxing and comfortable.
I think they should add more gluten free foods/health options for people with allergies or other health restrictions in diet.
Overall it was a great place to stay.

My go-to in DC. Fun, funky, nice rooftop bar for the sunset, unique and somewhat eclectic ... a refreshing change from chain hotels.
