The front desk staff, including lyle, ella, paul, and shamar, were very friendly and helpful!!! the restaurant staff during the morning buffet were super nice and more than happy to help mo and mili. i appreciate the security the hotel provided at 9 pm. They locked the lobby doors, and you can enter using your key.
i had a very slight issue as there was no place to put my own shower items in the shower, with only a small shelf close to the bottom.

food optionsupermarket harris teeterunion stationdoor insulationlocking systemdoor soundproofing
The hotel is near Union Station and the US Capitol. The Noma Metro station is close. I found several food and drink options nearby , including a Harris Teeter supermarket.
The room I stayed in had a door to the next room. I found it odd. There were two locking systems on the door , . The door could have been better insulated for sound.
