Good rooms, great location, very friendly staff. Just a slight improvement needed in elevator frequency. Breakfast prices were a bit high.

I must say, this hotel exceeded all my expectations! The staff, especially Bru, went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Bru was incredibly attentive, always friendly and welcoming. The hotel itself was clean and well-maintained. I cannot recommend this place enough and will definitely be returning in the future.

    All the museums are wonderful and free.

    All the museums are wonderful and free. The postal and African American were amazing. Indian and Gallery of Art, too. Best in two hour bursts then grab a bite there or nearby. Use Ubers or public trans. Little parking. Weekdays less crowded.

    The Smithsonian Institution is great. All museums are free.

    The Smithsonian Institution is great. All museums are free. This was my 6th visit, and now I visited every museum of the Smithsonian. I particularly recommend the National Gallery, the National Museum of Natural History, and the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. The National Gallery has in my opinion the best painting ever made by Leonardo da Vinci, the portrait of Ginevra da Benci. This one is much better than La Jaconde in Le Louvre (and I am French...). Another Museum worth to visit for its paintings is the Phillips collection in Georgetown.
