Only stayed for a quick overnight stay near DC - checked in late and left early, so I did not experience the full offer of this hotel. However, the room was as advertised, prepared and clean, and the valet service met my expectations. The location is conveniently right across the river from the National Mall, and is easy access.

I attended a conference here and was very pleased with the guestroom, meeting room facilities, food and beverage. The only disappointment (which was a big one!), is they didn't offer room service for lunch or dinner and when I called, I was informed that the restaurants were not open and I needed to 'leave the hotel' to get lunch. Very surprising since the sign in the elevator said "Why Leave- everything is here!" or something to that point. I highly recommend that this property always have some type of food and beverage, above the packaged sandwiches in the 'grab and go' shop for their guests.
