Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is a hidden gem with chic, spacious rooms that feel more like small suites; they are stylishly decorated and offer supremely comfortable bedding and well-appointed bathrooms. The modern rooms come with essential amenities for electronics like bedside power supply charging and high-speed WiFi. Service is exceptional with some complimentary services missing, but the kindness and proactive problem-solving of the staff make the stay truly comfortable. The location may be a bit confusing to navigate at first, but it's ultimately a quiet, safe haven, perfectly situated in a quiet area yet within easy walking distance to Georgetown and major attractions. The dining experience is a mix, with incredibly delicious Illy coffee but lacking variety and value for money in other options. The hotel boasts well-maintained facilities that enhance the overall stay experience.
The hotel offers decent rooms for a luxury property, which was nice, but some aspects are kind of shabby, so I wouldn't stay here for a vacation. The service encountered was exceptional, with staff always going above and beyond, especially the concierge service. The location, while a little confusing in terms of navigation, was well-suited for us as we were not too concerned about visiting the monuments. The dining experience was highlighted by fresh, hot Illy coffee, though some aspects were poor and pricy.
This hotel is just perfect! The rooms are modern, clean, spacious, and offer luxury amenities like power supply charging and high-speed WiFi. The private sitting area provides a great view of the bustling NHamp/21Street. The service is fantastic, with a friendly staff always going the extra mile. The location is quiet, safe, and 5-star worthy, especially for those visiting monuments. The dining experience, while average, offers fresh Illy coffee. The facilities are top-notch with various services available.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms offered a private sitting area with a good view of the NHamp/21Street comings & goings, and the special fireworks show setup with party hats, food, champagne, and attentive servers was truly spectacular. The staff bent over backwards to ensure our comfort, from recommending a great restaurant to providing exemplary service throughout our stay.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with its modern, clean rooms equipped with essential amenities like bedside power supply charging and high-speed WiFi. The restaurants offered a great experience, especially the bar where I dined one night. However, the price could be a bit on the higher side for a luxury hotel.
I absolutely loved this hotel! The rooms were beautifully decorated and spacious, with ample storage for all our belongings. The staff was so friendly and went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. However, the location was a bit confusing in terms of finding specific places and comparing it with similar standards. The dining options were average, but the fresh Illy coffee was a nice touch.
