Gorgeous gardens!!! Always love this hotel. Its the second convention I have done and stayed in for. The breakfast is amazing, just the best I have ever had at a hotel. Its on the concierge level. There is a sauna, which is great, but one of the highest perks is the vintage decor throughout many wings of the place and the overall fantastic job at decorating and apportioning rooms.
Plus...most important for me...how do you eat on a budget at this spot in town, with no time to spare, at 11pm? Well, the room service is quick and unbelievably cheap for the area ($14 pasta and meatball marinara delivered to your room, plus $5 delivery charge for the whole order). Its not great food but it is simply the best non pizza option if you are stuck in for the night.

I've only ever utilized the exhibit/ballroom areas and main level of the hotel and can't speak to the hotel rooms. The event floor is d Spacious and deep, with plenty of security on hand. While most hotels tend to pump tons of air conditioning into their buildings, this one receives so many guests that the venue actually feels warm. There is parking available, but it's expensive, and street parking is limited. So get to your event early and prepare to get your cardio in! There are also plenty of restaurants across Connecticut Ave. around the corner from the main entrance.

The hotel rooms were clean and comfortable. The conference rooms were mostly fine, but sometimes cold and the pillars created line of site issues for screens and speakers. The room refreshes were thorough. Finding the conference rooms was sometimes confusing. Overall, the hotel was a great location with lots of food options nearby and a quick walk to the zoo. Great location!

I stayed here for a convention. The hotel is large and does not have a lot of personality. Despite the beautiful brick-covered buildings surrounding it, the hotel building itself is uninspiring, as is the lobby and bar. The park is lovely, though. The immediate neighborhood is quiet and beautiful, but there is not much to do in terms of restaurants or nightlife. The Adams-Morgan neighborhood is about 15 minutes away on foot. I think the price I paid was too steep given the rather generic feeling of the hotel and of my room.

We stayed for 8 nights.The room and bed were comfortable but we could of used another chair and small table in our room. Also, a safe would of been appreciated.
The housekeeping staff were very helpful and nice. The front desk and restaurant servers not so much. Food expensive and nothing special.
There is an outdoor pool and although the weather was great the pool was closed.
It is close to the zoo which is why we stayed here. If you don't want to walk up hill take the Metro to Cleveland Park and walk down a short distance. Very convenient. The hotel is on a hill so there is an steep incline for walkers and pieces of sidewalk missing. Watch your step.
