The best staff ever! My air broke and they moved me rooms twice! Very nice people and very accommodating. Had a great stay and will be back if I go back to dc
The bed was comfortable. Aside from being clean, a comfortable bed is the most important thing for a good stay. The staff is very friendly as well.

The staff at this hotel were all EXCELLENT. They were very polite and extremely helpful. I would have preferred a little more variety with breakfast from day to day with a longer stay. The water took a VERY long time to warm up in the shower and it never really got that hot. Overall a good stay.

Staff was great and cleanliness was good. Rooms have had some refreshing and bed was very comfortable. Window treatments and soft furniture were old and detracted from a great experience

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We visited during the summer 26 heatwave and the AC plus a west facing facade meant we had 80+ degree room temperatures with no air moving in the unit. I’m sure this would not be a problem during normal weather. Overall the hotel is very old, the rooms are tiny, but the breakfast was nice and the nearby Wawa filled in the gaps.
I stayed for four days for a conference at the convention center.
I appreciated having a refrigerator and coffee maker.
The air conditioner was a bit noisy, so I had to raise the temperature setting, but I was comfortable overall.
The bed was never made during my stay, so those who are particular about this should be aware.

Clean rooms, helpful staff. Good amenities, breakfast was great
Great location, but parking was more than 2 blocks away and required you to make a U-turn to get to parking garage. Parking was reduced for staying in hotel quite a bit, but the requirement to have to walk over 2 blocks to leave and pick up your vehicle was a challenge. A/C worked very well. Room was small and only accommodated 2 beds, TV with stand, standing closet and small desk. Restroom was very small but plenty of towels and amenities were very tiny. Fridge was actually bigger than most hotels and worked very well. Window shades functioned well and blocked out light very well. Staff was very respectful, responsive and professional. Continental breakfast options were good, but crowded with only a few tables. Elevators functioned well. At least you were able to unload and load from the front of the hotel with space to park and not rushed. Definitely a short stay place but I do not recommend for long stays of more than 3-4 days.
Everything was suitable and accessible. I didn't like the huge gap between the floor and the door to hallway at all but it was what it was. None of the bedside lights worked properly until the night before l left. The iron was the most disgusting bc when I attempted to iron all this calcified white stuff ruined what l was attempting to iron. I had to get a iron so none if the rest of my clothing got messed up. Breakfast was nice and fresh. Staff was lovely.
Every morning we were greeted by amazing staff and the breakfast was good. Only downfall was the fact there was no microwave in the room very inconvenient

Breakfast was marginal...They had the basics,
eggs/sausage, bread, waffle maker, dry cereal , rolls,
yogurt, fruit like bananas and apples, coffee, juices out of a machine.
Biggest problem, was everything was crowded into one corner, and the room is small and tight. "There were not enough chairs or seating for the hotel guests. I had to stand up the first couple days, then last day sat dow.
Room was clean. I liked my room because it was a corner. I also thought everything I needed was okay
except there was no blanket in closet in case i were cold.
Reception area had many people rotating. NOT all staff have a good attitude. They were not professional or know what to do in many cases. Untrained and bad cranky .
The room was clean, and the breakfast selection was good. The area was fairly quiet. Parking isn't available at the hotel, but there is parking nearby and they give you a voucher so it's $10 a day. Overall, I'd recommend this place.
