Great Location, Not Impressed Otherwise
My boyfriend and I visited DC for a few days and stayed at the hotel for two of the nights. Upon arrival, I thought the hotel looked very nice and was excited to see our room. I had read many reviews before I booked our hotel, at least 2 months in advance. The lady that helped us check in was very slow. Somehow the room was in my name even though my boyfriend made the reservation; it caused her confusion, even when I handed her our reservation confirmation email. We were only given one key card. We didn't plan on splitting up, but most hotels give you two just to be safe. We then proceeded to our room, which was up a few steps and we could see the reception desk from our door. I didn't like that, especially being on the first floor where it could be noisy. 
We entered our room and it was huge. I thought it was a special room at first, but then after we looked around more, we realized it was a meeting room converted into a bedroom. The key card holder actually mentioned the hotel's meeting rooms, and our room was listed (also the sign next to our room kind of gave that away). I noticed our bed was a murphy bed, which I thought was weird, luckily it was still comfortable. Our TV was on a cart that they can wheel in maybe? There was one random "couch" against the divider wall between our room and the next room. We did have a mini-fridge and a whole counter with a wall-long mirror that was nice when I got ready in the morning. The back wall was covered in windows and a door that went out to their restaurant patio. There were only blinds on the windows, so light shone through the cracks during the night; I wish there were curtains. I felt uncomfortable having a door lead out to a patio, even though I'm not sure people use the patio often. If people had been out there when we went to bed though, I would have had trouble sleeping knowing they were outside our windows and could even see in through the cracks between blinds.
Our bathroom was very nice, it actually looks much nicer than bathrooms in the pictures people posted (maybe redone recently?). The shower was weird with only a half pane of glass and the other half you step in had no way to be shut so water did splash out a little bit. And there was no fan in the bathroom so it steamed up a lot unless we kept the pocket-door open. I wish I had gone back to the reception desk when I saw the room and tried to get us into a different room, but we didn't notice a lot of the weird things until later (plus we are young, and I feel like people don't take us as seriously). 
The room also had two different temperature controls; it got much colder during the night than what we had set it at. 
On a good note, the location was great. We were close to the red line and able to walk to our White House tour without a problem. We never made it up to the rooftop bar, but from the looks of the menu, the prices were high. We also did not eat breakfast there because the prices were ridiculous for fruit and breads!? I can go to Starbucks and get tasty muffins and coffee for cheaper. And getting Starbucks coffee for cheaper doesn't happen often! 
Overall, we decided we did not really enjoy this hotel. I did a lot of research, and I should have just done the Priceline negotiator so my high hopes for a nice room and stay weren't ruined. I would not stay here again, unless it was extremely cheap in comparison to other hotels in the area. I won't recommend family and friends to stay there either. If you are staying here though, our room was clean, so hopefully you also have a clean and normal room.
