I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the location was great for sightseeing in DC, but the room situation was a bit concerning with a potential wet carpet. The service was a mix of rude and friendly interactions, while the dining offered a good variety of food but with additional charges for breakfast. The facilities were decent overall.

I found a potential issue with a wet carpet in one of the rooms, which was concerning. The location of the room near the railway and ice machine wasn't ideal, and the soundproofing could be better.

Service

5.0

The service was a mix of rudeness and friendliness. Some staff members were not very accommodating, but others, like those in the restaurant and housekeeping, were polite and greeted me warmly.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location is a major plus for tourists as it is close to many iconic DC attractions like the National Mall, making it easy to explore the city.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience had a good variety of food options, but it was disappointing to have to pay extra for breakfast when it could be included like in other Holiday Inns.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel provided standard facilities without any standout features.

7.0/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The room I initially got was tiny, with a broken television and a light that didn't work, but after moving to another room, things improved. The service had its highs and lows, with an unfortunate incident of staff entering my room without permission, but overall, the staff was friendly and helpful. The location couldn't have been better for exploring museums and the National Mall, but the surprise noise from a nearby train was a downside. The dining experience was lacking in healthy options, but the shabushabu made up for it. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with some room for improvement in certain areas.
