Dragging suitcases through outdated hallways to reach our room was a bit of a hassle, but once inside, it was clean and pleasant. The wait for our room was a downside, but overall, it provided a decent stay.

The hotel had a commercial air blower in the suite, but overall the rooms were clean and looked just like the pictures. The service needed improvement but had friendly moments. Despite some issues, the location was convenient and within walking distance of amenities. The dining experience was hit or miss, with paid breakfast lacking in comparison to other hotel offerings.

The hotel is conveniently located near the DC area, offering clean and modern rooms but with some noise from mechanical sources. The service was not as attentive or personable as expected. The location is superb, with friendly reception and easy access to fun attractions in North Old Town.
