Great Staff and Nice Rooms

No issues. Very friendly staff. At every turn, I was greated with a friendly "Bonjour". Room was immaculately clean and comfortable. Great location for DC. Breakfast was good and the service was great but pricey at about $30 for bacon and eggs. A gratuity was automatically added in the price of the breakfast.

Nice hotel, difficult to locate

The hotel was very nice, but difficult to find. The hotel name was hidden and when we actually found it, we drove by it a few times trying to find the front of the building and the valet parking. There were no staff members waiting outside to assist you. The valet parking was ridiculously overpriced. $45 for one night is an outrage.

Great location and staff

Very impressed from the moment I arrived when they opened the front door - quick check-in - very attentive staff - rarely had to open the front door. Although price was similar, this was a much better place to stay than the Hyatt Regency on New Jersey. Location was as good as it gets - visited 11 museums in three days and, except for the Kreeger, was able to walk to them all. Very nice rooms with tub & shower. Highly recommend. Five minor issues: I paid extra for a city view - the only view was of the American Bar Assoc. bldg., no store/gift shop, the ice machine on my floor was broken, no refrig/microwave and there was an extra fee for internet.

If you appreciate paintings from the impressionist era do not miss the Phillips Collection - their people are great - a nice walk - just off Dupont Circle and you get a nice view of the embassy area.

Great hotel in a very good location

We were greeted by [...]at the front desk who was extremely helpful and made quite a few recommendations from the get go! She also helped us with an room upgrade which was extremely nice. The room was very spacious, modern and comfortable.We made dinner reservations thru the lead concierge, [...]to the Oval Room which was a short walk past the White House and extremely delicious food at a moderate price level for fine dinning. She had even mentioned our special occasion when making the resie and we got surprised with a special desert. Hotel is really nice and a very easy location to get to all the Smithsonian Museums and to walk to various neighborhoods. we do recommend this hotel highly.

Make dinner resies at the "Oval Room". Great food and artful presentation. Extremely creative mixture of favors and color of food ingredients. Most entree's in the $20's. Try the pasta w/ truffles starter or tempura soft shell crab.

Great location

The room accommodation was excellent. Even the service at the door upon entering or leaving - always a "Bonjour" or a "Welcome back". Housekeeping service was quick and pleasant.

Good service, so so room.

The hotel service is good. One of the two rooms we have has some smells and they agreed to change the room for us. The room itself is kind of narrow and the air conditioner is blowing airs right to my feet during the night. The restroom is small too and the bathtube is not big enough to fit in an adult.
