    What a great hotel! My room was clean, quiet, and roomy. The staff was attentive and helpful. Checkout was at noon! There's a Johnny Rockets and full bar in the lobby. Free coffee was available round the clock. Very pleased!

    Great location. Walking distance to restaurants, bars and grocery stores up and down14th Ave and 16th Ave. And very walkable south on 15th Ave, a little over a mile, to National Mall since the hotel is on the corner of 15th Ave. I took public trans too and bus stops are a couple blocks away.

    I was originally planning to give this hotel a 2 star rating. The location is no where near the White House (which I knew as a DC native), and lack of technology to stream my phone to the TV, but the main reason for my planned low rating was because I couldn't get a good night's sleep. Every night the heater/AC would start making loud noises. I'm typically a deep sleeper but this was loud enough to wake me and keep me awake. I let the front desk know about the issue and they sent maintenance the same day. They were only able to slightly reduce the noise. I then spoke with Ambria at the front desk. She was able to not only see to it that the unit was replaced but she also refunded a night off my stay. She is amazing. This level of above and beyond service is so rare these days and this Holiday in gets a 5 star rating from me because of staff like her.

    A relaxing and perfect stay in the city. All of the front desk staff were very nice with my late night check-in, greeting me with my IHG status and informing me of my late check-out option. They were also very helpful with the assistance with getting copies made if a couple documents. Clean and bright lobby, very clean rooms and, a high priority for me…plenty of hot water and great pressure on the fifth floor. 10/10
