Last minute booking...regretful
This hotel has a great location (just a few blocks from Dupont Circle) and acceptable amenities. The concierge team is friendly, helpful, and the valet parking is prompt. A few things in the room either didn't work (fireplace) or needed help (the fridge was really dirty). And I did call to ask them to fix these things but they were never done. But who cares. Here's my one real complaint: 
I booked a normal room with a king-size bed at this hotel on a search engine for a rate competitive with the other 4-star hotels in the area. The rate was $119.05. A good price, I thought, for a last minute booking. 
I arrived and was told that they did not have any king sized beds left, that if I wanted a king bed, I would have to upgrade for $46. One of the most frustrating things was the way the employee said this: not as if unfortunately circumstances presented themselves, but as if she was happy that I would have to pay the upgrade, almost to say, "that's the price you pay for going through a booking engine." Nonetheless, there is probably some small print somewhere that allows them to do this, so I accepted it and I upgraded to the king sized bed for $46. (Another annoying note, I was charged an additional "tax" or "fee" in order to be lucky enough to purchase this upgrade.) 
The valet parking too is a bit deceiving. They told me it was $33 however on my bill it was $40-something. I was told this was for "full service" valet parking (don't know what that means) so I said I didn't want 'full service' and they reduced it to $33. Again, just a little nickel-and-diming that I find really annoying.
Next, being suspicious that they were not telling the truth about the kind sized beds, I called anonymously later on in the night and asked about availability for a room with a king sized bed. Low and behold, they had one available for me at a price of $165. (But I thought they were all out of king sized beds????) While the decision to upgrade was certainly mine, this confirmed my suspicion that the hotel may try to shoulder you into an upgrade when you may have already been promised it on a booking engine.
Last but not least, there's an additional $25 charge on my credit card - for what, I have no idea. Just too frustrated to go back and try to argue. 
So at the end of the day, I ended up spending closer to $200 for the stay. Again, it's a nice hotel so I kinda consider it a wash. If you had told me this hotel experience will cost $200 and will include anything you need, I'd have been happy. But I would warn guests to be weary of the "upgrade" trick that I'm 99% is premeditated when you book the hotel at a lower price somewhere else.
