Beautiful, clean, quiet and safe hotel. Locate in the Wharf directly on what feels like an upscale boardwalk. Fantastic views from the rooftop pool. Uber pick ups were available within a few minutes. Short easy walk to a metro station. I appreciated the staff generosity in providing water bottles. I didnt like the $30 add-on fee per night (with $15 credit at the bar and mini bar) which felt like a way to drive guests to use the hotel bar and in-room mini bar. But that is the only negative in an all around fabulous stay.

Expensive, but well worth the money, in terms of the service I received, cleanliness and appearance of the hotel. The room I stayed in had a wonderful view of the harbor. The staff is attentive to every need. My gf and I requested a late checkin, and staff honored our request. I was greeted by name upon checkin, and a comment of "we've been expecting you!". The Wharf area has many dining and shopping opportunities. An Uber is always just a few minutes away to travel to the many tourist attractions. There is so much to see and do in the DC area that one weekend visit just isn't enough to accomplish everything. We will return!

Lovely property. Staff exceptional with the exception of female pool side bartender with a huge attitude both days. I guess paying customers don’t expect that kind of behavior. Only negative the rooftop pool not very clean and questionable adequate chlorination.
