Ask for Bud
This is an elegant, beautiful, and serene hotel with lovely amenities; we stayed for five days and were very comfortable until the last night, when the air conditioning failed. Our beds were fantastic. Our room was spacious and kept immaculately clean throughout our stay.
We were there during a Congressional recess, so the dining options in the hotel were limited---but we were not informed of this when we booked. We ate in the hotel only twice, and sadly, at breakfast on the last morning, a cheese and mushroom omelet was served without cheese, and the mushrooms used were not fresh.
There was painting in progress on the first level, and we were surprised they were not using zero or low VOC paint, which is widely available in very high quality formulas these days. I had informed the hotel when booking that one of our party is very sensitive to chemicals so they could avoid putting us in a newly decorated or newly carpeted room, so they ought to have informed us that painting would be done while we were there. The fumes did not reach our room, but we had to pass through the painting between entrance and elevator and the sensitive member of our part developed short-lived headaches and nausea each time. On balance, however, the stay was more than satisfactory and my husband announced when we left that he wanted to come back and live there.
NOTE: If you are thinking of getting a massage in the their spa while there, by all means, do so, if you can get Bud. Bud is highly trained and experienced in bodywork, a truly accomplished practitioner. Ask the concierge if he is available and don't mull over the various "named" massage options in the spa menu. Just get Bud and tell him what you want or don't want.
