Frommer's Review
This hotel is in the thick of Georgetown. Come the third weekend in May, the hotel is full of the proud parents of students graduating from blocks-away Georgetown University. (The hotel books up 2 years in advance for graduation weekend.) Its location is what best recommends the hotel, so if you're a shopper, visiting the university, or conducting business in Georgetown, this is a good pick.
A million-dollar renovation completed in 2006 refurbished the hotel without changing its general style: traditional American, heavy on the dark woods with pretty sage-green accents. About one-third of the rooms hold two beds, the others have a king- or queen-size bed. Ask for an "executive room" if you'd like a sitting area with pullout sofa. Best are the 10 one-bedroom suites, in which bedroom and large living room are separate. The bathrooms have only showers (some also have bidets), no tub.
Facilities:
Restaurant, bar; small exercise room, plus complimentary pass to nearby, more extensive sports club; room service

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
