"What a terrific property with an amazing view! I am so glad we stayed here. It was also conveniently located close to the metro. Given the inexpensive price I was blown away with the property. The only negative was the restaurant on the property. They tried to seat us in an area with no view. They explained that because we did not have reservations these other tables were reserved. The other tables never filled in the hour and 45 minutes we were there. The food was fine there but not exceptional like the hotel."
