Great location, huge rooms

This hotel is in an awesome spot -- walking distance to a ton of DC's biggest monuments. It's also only a 5 minute walk to the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro Station. With their first-time stay discount, the value is absolutely higher than the cost. The rooms are huge because it was previously an apartment complex. We were able to leave our dog in the room for a few hours without being required to crate him. The reason for knocking off one star is primarily due to the lack of parking. They offer valet parking for $42/night, and the nighttime staff was not super knowledge and/or helpful in directing us to cheaper alternatives. There are a number of public garages within walking distance that charge about $20 less per night. Our dog also had a minor allergic reaction to whatever detergent or fabric softener they use on the bed linens, but that's not necessarily the hotel's fault, and it was quickly resolved with Benadryl and keeping him off the bed. Checkout is at noon, which gives a little extra time to make the most of your visit compared to other hotels, and the front desk stores bags after checkout for free.
