Frommer's Review
This well-placed hotel offers great value within walking distance of Georgetown and Dupont Circle. A tropical eight-story atrium is the setting for an ample complimentary breakfast every morning and complimentary cocktails and light snacks every evening.
Every unit is a two-room suite. The living room holds a queen-size sofa bed, 32-inch plasma TV, easy chair, and table and chairs. The bedroom lies at the back of the suite, overlooking a quiet courtyard or the street. A king-size bed or two queen-size beds, TV, armchair, and bureau furnish this space. Between the living room and the bedroom are the bathroom, a small closet, and a kitchenette. Request a room on the eighth or ninth floor for views of Georgetown and beyond; request an "executive corner suite" for a slightly larger unit.
Another plus: free Internet use available at nine mobile kiosks throughout the public area and at three business center computers.
Facilities: Restaurant (rustic Italian); state-of-the-art fitness center w/indoor pool, whirlpool, and sauna; game room; concierge; 24-hr. business center w/free use of computers and printer; mobile and free Internet kiosks in public area; room service (11am-11pm); coin-op washer/dryers; same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; 8 rooms for those w/limited mobility, 4 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.
