Upmarket, a little bland, boring area
I liked the beds, the courtyard, and the happy hour. The Gold floor certainly did have its conveniences. I found the decor bland and some of the staff on the Gold floor so eager to be helpful they were almost intrusive. The spa area is large but the pool is not and you may find it full of young children so you can't swim. The jacuzzi was full of teenagers and the sauna and steam room were not hot. The immediate vicinity has little of interest but you can walk up towards Dupont Circle where it is more lively and there are pavement cafes; it is not too far to the metro. The hotel is very expensive. If you want everything on tap and are prepared to pay for it, this hotel will suit you.
