Convenient But A Lot of Noise
I would give this hotel a very good were it not for the noise. The hotel was just finishing renovations when I was there. The decor is beautiful. My room was on the 4th floor facing K street. Nice view but way too much commotion. Let me preface this by saying I live in the city and my street can be loud, I am also a heavy sleeper so I usually don't have issues but I was woken up every night of my stay. The first night was a Saturday, teh street noise consisted of drunk people talking loudly and yelling, sirens, loud motorcycles, loud trucks and a lot of pounding. Every night was pretty much the same (sans drunk people). My other work colleagues with rooms off K street also had this same complaint. We were there for a conference so the hotel was booked and no way we could move. I decided to extend my stay and bunked with a friend that had a courtyard facing room and it made a world of difference, the first good night's sleep I got.
Ok, enough complaining about the noise. The hotel, as I said, was new and beautiful. We ate at the President's Grill two nights. The second night I got the steak which I was concerned about but it was delicious, perfectly cooked and juicy. Service at the restaurant and lobby bar were great and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel is also a block away from the convention center and a metro stop so you can't beat that.
