Although the hotel had its drawbacks, I still found some positives. The rooms were adequate but had some wear-and-tear, and the location by the Potomac River was lovely. However, the distance from the lobby was inconvenient. The dining options were good but on the pricey side.

The location by the Potomac River was beautiful and right in front of the Ferris wheel, creating a great atmosphere. However, the distance from the lobby and conference areas was somewhat inconvenient.

7.2/10

The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were small but with a balcony and view of the atrium. It would have been better if they were a bit larger and included a mini fridge. The location was convenient, about 20-25 minutes south of downtown DC and the airport DCA. The dining experience offered a variety of tasty food but at a high price. The service was generally good, with some standout staff members, yet there were instances of rudeness. The overall value for money was decent, considering the facilities provided.
