The location was excellent in City Centre Washington, steps away from all the major sights and the hotel staff were very friendly and unobtrusive. They went over and above to provide a small gift for my son's birthday. We loved our stay!!!

Property is new, clean, beds are super comfy, staff is extremely nice, the room was refreshed and cleaned perfectly each day. You also get codes for free 45 minute bike rides, which comes in handy. The rooftop bar has amazing view. Shout out to Alexandar in the front desk, he was so heart warming, he provided cool recommendations.

This was one of the nicest hotel stays I had. I arrived very early in the morning (before the reception was manned, many hours before check in time) and still they let in to the lobby where I has access to a nice place to sit, work, have coffee etc. Then the person in charge came in (Nico) and he was super nice. They managed to get me to the room ahead of time (which was a blessing since I was very tired from a long flight, and the room was super nice. The entire stay was really like a home away from home. Location is in a nice neighborhood which for me was close to where I needed to go. I travel often and this is definitely one place I'd be very happy to revisit.

All the museums are wonderful and free.

All the museums are wonderful and free. The postal and African American were amazing. Indian and Gallery of Art, too. Best in two hour bursts then grab a bite there or nearby. Use Ubers or public trans. Little parking. Weekdays less crowded.

The Smithsonian Institution is great. All museums are free.

The Smithsonian Institution is great. All museums are free. This was my 6th visit, and now I visited every museum of the Smithsonian. I particularly recommend the National Gallery, the National Museum of Natural History, and the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. The National Gallery has in my opinion the best painting ever made by Leonardo da Vinci, the portrait of Ginevra da Benci. This one is much better than La Jaconde in Le Louvre (and I am French...). Another Museum worth to visit for its paintings is the Phillips collection in Georgetown.
