Frommer's Review
This hotel's nondescript exterior contrasts with its interior, which has a European feel and a well-heeled appearance. Crystal chandeliers hang in the lobby and in the restaurant, and you may hear an Irish lilt from time to time (the hotel is one of three in Washington owned by Jurys Doyle Hotel Group, an Irish management company). Guests tend to linger in the comfortable lounge off the lobby, where coffee is available all day.
A complete refurbishment in 2004 replaced nearly everything in the guest rooms, which now present a comfortable and bright decor that includes cherry furniture, plush carpeting, and 25-inch TVs. Accommodations facing the street on the sixth to ninth floors now have floor-to-ceiling windows, providing panoramic views. Especially nice are the 16 "executive king" rooms, which are a little larger and are equipped with marble bathrooms, trouser presses, and robes.
For the best deals, call direct to the hotel or go to the website.
Facilities: Restaurant (American, open for breakfast and dinner); bar; outdoor pool (seasonal); small exercise room; business center; room service (5-10pm); coin-operated laundry; same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; 2 rooms for those w/limited mobility, both w/roll-in showers.

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.
