The hotel's rooms are updated and clean, absolutely gorgeous, and contemporary and spacious albeit with a tight toilet area. The service is friendly and helpful, especially Ice and Rob, but there were moments of extreme rudeness. The location is excellent, surprisingly quiet, and convenient for exploring downtown DC. The Firefly restaurant adds a nice touch to the dining experience. Overall, a modern and clean hotel with friendly staff, though some service lapses were noticeable.
