Impressive, Hip, New and Good Location, for a Reasonable Price
We spent a full week here in the summer of 2012 during the heat wave. Despite the heat, the hotel stayed cool and the staff was very friendly (even those who worked outside). The room was quiet and comfortable and the bathroom is very Euro-hip. The design is fairly modern and the hotel features a great restaurant (Blue Duck) and lobby bar. The bar and restaurant are both expensive, yet we found our room rate to be competitive with those nearby. Hotel is close enough to Georgetown, but not really walkable to much of the Georgetown area. Lots of nearby cabs made for an easy trip to some great DC restaurants and museums. If you come to DC, be sure to check out the top rated restaurants on Zagat.com. Each was superb. Hotel has a convenient business center also. Our only complaint might be how expansive the hotel is horizontally. Depending on your room, you may have a very long walk. Indoor pool and gym were OK, but nothing noteworthy. DC is a busy town, so we did hear traffic noise on occasion... That said, overall a great stay and one I recommend.
