Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was an overall pleasant experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making it easy for me to rest and combat jet lag with their heavy blackout curtains. However, some areas showed signs of age, like the paint on the walls. The service was a bit of a mixed bag, with some staff members being rude, but the front desk was efficient and knowledgeable. The location was great, especially for easy access to the airport and meetings in Crystal City. The dining options were decent but a bit overpriced for what was offered. Despite some drawbacks, the value for money was reasonable considering the prime location.
My stay at the hotel had some ups and downs. The rooms were clean and orderly, but a bit dull and musty. The unexpected additional charges were a downside, with the final cost being higher than expected. However, the service provided by Tracy and a kind young dark-haired girl was exceptional. The location was excellent but lacked some friendliness, while the dining options were subpar. Overall, a somewhat mixed experience.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed experience. The rooms were bright, clean, and welcoming with a comfortable king bed, but the noise level was quite high, which was a bit disturbing. The service was a hit and miss - while some staff members were very nice and helpful, there were issues with key cards and valuables' safety. The location was convenient for my needs, being close to where I needed to be, but the surrounding area lacked public transport options. Dining was good, although a bit pricey, and the facilities were adequate for my stay.
