Pros: friendly and helpful staff, Great location - easy to get to Dupont circle and redline Metro. Easy check in as it's a regular hotel with 24hr reception. Nice coffee at shop downstairs. Great view to National Monument and sunrise views of city. Pool and outdoor area looked nice but I didn't use it as not the season. Windows that actually open and let in real air - yay! Fridge in room.
Cons - 8th floor has extremely loud elevator door closing, and rm door is not soundproof at all so I could clearly hear the squeaking from my room even at the end of the hallway. One of 2 elevators broken entire week I was there, and long wait with 9 floors of guests. Bed is extremely uncomfortable - King is actually two twin mattresses put together that have extremely soft centres, but hard edges, so the ridge in the middle of the bed is much higher and harder than both halves. Bathroom not as updated as pictures shown - so seems there is variation in the rooms, and room area also not as big as pics
