Pros +

The front desk staff was very attentive and nice, accommodating earlier check in, umbrella loaner available and water bottles always offered.
The rooms were very clean and the housekeeping staff and valet staff were very nice.
I liked the nostalgia of DC -- as someone who lives nearby, I've been here before but not for pleasure.

Cons -

We had problem w AC for first 2 days no AC and then switched rooms to a supposed upgrade but room seemed exactly the same. 2nd room had NO lock into another strangers room which took 24 hrs to fix, toilet noises thru out stay, coffee machine broken.
The cost wasn't worth what you get. Lots of fees - parking, resort, etc.
The bed was as hard as the ground. The curtains were too short to act as black out curtains. For a couple trying to get one morning of sleeping in, it was a terrible combo.

It's not a 5 star experience. We were on time for check in, but our room wasn't ready so we had to revise our plans. Wasn't ideal. Plus, the lobby is extremely loud -- not. a good design after the renovations. The hotel lacks amenities as well.
