They're ready for their closeup!
I stayed at this hotel for three nights. I chose the hotel for its proximity to Whole Foods, as I was on vacation with my 2 teenaged daughters, and I prefer to cook my own meals. My title of the review is in reference to the movie Sunset Blvd. The hotel is an old apartment building; pretty but in need of major upgrades. First: they need that security thingy that you find on the inside of hotel room doors, that keeps others out when you are inside of the room. 2nd: in the beautiful kitchen area, they need to clean the cabinets and upgrade from the crusty one pan that they have for you to cook in (I brought my own!). There was one plate, and by the time they brought the other one (I asked for two), we had finished eating. 3rd: they need to upgrade their heating/cooling system. I was there from April 8-11, nice weather, cool nights. No way to take the chill off at night, because of the old H/C system. That also meant standing outside of the shower until the water was the right temp. And when someone flushes the toilet, the water would get hot (like back in the '70's). Not fun when you're on vacay. Lastly, I stayed on the F street side. The front desk staff on that side seemed to try to act busy so as not to make eye contact for fear you might ask a question. Poor customer service!
