Located in Thomas Circle, the location is very central to downtown, Dupont Circle and Georgetown. The McPherson Square Metro station, on the airport line, is just about four blocks away from the hotel and an easy walk. There are plenty of restaurants within easy access and, best of all, places where you may just need to access to fill a need, such as a Wawa or a CVS just across the street, handy for a forgotten toothbrush or an early morning Diet Coke not at usual hotel prices.
It is both gay friendly and family friendly as guests varied widely from single business travelers to family vacationers. Staff was great all around, rooms were clean, bed was comfortable,
linens were nice.
The bathroom had this really cool, kind of tunnel shaped shower which made it fun yet practical.
The hotel has a nice outdoor rooftop pool area that offers food and drink. While the food menu is appropriately limited, the offerings are diverse and food quality is good.
My personal advice on room selection is that the junior King suite, for just a few dollars more, is really worth the difference in terms of additional space.
I would however avoid rooms 1208, 1207 and 1209. While the views from there are awesome, these rooms are located directly below the pool deck and on nights when there is an event in the pool area, such as a movie night, it is extremely loud in the room right about the time you’d rather be going to sleep. That is the only negative comment I can make.
