We got two rooms on a Friday night as we had a seminar nearby. Even though the hotel was empty, I got a room right in front of the elevator; 90% of the view was a brick wall. Because of that-no cell service. Some airplane noise, lots of hallway noise. Plastic cups in lieu of glasses. Shampoo in large containers attached to the wall- like a gym. Cleaners forgot to set the alarm clock, and I forgot to check it- it went off at 6am. Colleague awakened at 415am by an ambulance outside. Lobby nice, cool-looking but very uncomfortable seating. On the positive side- wine offered in the lobby, excellent temperature control.

Did not realize that this property is now part of the Starwood Hotels and I was pleasantly surprised to get a great rate and upgraded room due to my status. Hotel is a short walk from the Roslyn metro station as well as to Georgetown over the Key Bridge.

Rooms are nicely appointed and spacious and it was a fraction of the cost compared to DC prices even for a weekend.

Staff was great to deal with and very accommodating as well as very customer-service oriented.

So, it was great to stay at this hotel, while attending a seminar in DC. The location is just over the Key Bridge from Georgetown and my room was much bigger that I thought. Which was a pleasant surprise! You are blocks away from the Metro and walking 10 minutes from GT. Service was good and food was very homey. It is a great place to stay and sometimes, by being just over the bride from DC, you might get good prices!

I met a friend for a drink in the Amuse (?) Lounge here one evening. It's up on the 4th floor so I got a bit confused at first. But we had a nice spot by the fireplace and the wait service was excellent and polite. I had a great martini and my friend had a great whisky, everything brought the way we wanted it. I also ordered the American Burger which was very tasty and came with fries and a salad. This place is on the pricey side but obviously we're paying for the trendy classy decor (paintings, sculptures and ornate surfaces everywhere). It is wheelchair accessible but a bit hard to find your way around in although all staff were helpful. Cabs pull into the entrance or can be called by the doorman, and that's always handy when you've had a drink or two or three.
