The hotel offers a wonderful view of the Ferris Wheel and the water from the chic and quite comfortable rooms. The modern design adds a nice touch, but the room amenities are basic. The service was attentive and especially accommodating, making the stay very enjoyable. The location is surrounded by water with plenty of activities nearby, but some areas could use better lighting. The dining experience was excellent with great value for money. The facilities provided everything needed for a pleasant stay.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had a great decor, and the location was superb with everything within walking distance. The service was top-notch, although not having privacy shades was a bit of a drawback. The dining experience was decent but could use a bit more variety. Overall, a fantastic stay with a few minor hitches.

Rooms

The rooms were cute with a great decor. They had large windows with room darkening shades, but I wished there were privacy shades that let the light in. There were only 2 drawers in the bathroom.

The service was exceptional! The parking valet was not affiliated with the hotel but was incredibly accommodating. They even remembered me and my car without needing to show the ticket. However, the chatty conversations outside could be a bit distracting.

The location was perfect! It was within walking distance of everything you could need, and the staff made me feel very secure. From my room window, I could see a small store and a microwave to heat up our dinner.
Dining

While the dining options were not extensive, the continental buffet was decent for the price. I opted to go elsewhere for a different style of meal, but the buffet was worth it if you prefer a European touch.

The hotel rooms were absolutely stunning, chic, and perfect, facing the Potomac River, but the breakfast that was said to be available on reservation was closed at the hotel, and there was no microwave in the room.

The staff was friendly with a great sense of humor and exceptionally helpful, although they were busy. They were concerned enough about getting guests checked in that I would not knock them for that.

The hotel's location was relaxing and convenient, close to where I needed to be, and within walking distance to my destination at the National Harbor with a nice area and plenty of food options.
Dining

The dining experience wasn't worth the money they charged. It did not have a good selection of breakfast foods. All it offered was some cheeses and juice, which was horrible, especially for someone 200 lbs.
