Frommer's Review
The George Washington University owns this hotel, whose corporate and family clientele like the outdoor pool, in-house restaurant, prime location near Georgetown and the Metro, and the full kitchen with oven, microwave, and refrigerator (about 10% of rooms have kitchenettes). Five types of suites are available, ranging in size from 390 to 710 square feet. The one-bedroom suites have a sofa bed and dining area; all rooms are spacious, evince a contemporary look, and have walkout balconies, some overlooking the Circle and its statue of George Washington. Keep in mind that across the Circle is George Washington University Hospital's emergency-room entrance, busy with ambulance traffic. Even though rooms have double-paned windows, sirens are still audible, so ask to stay on the L Street side for a quieter room.
Call the hotel directly for best rates; mention a GWU affiliation if you have one and you may receive a discount.
Facilities: Restaurant (traditional bistro w/Mediterranean flair); bar; outdoor pool; on-site fitness center; concierge; room service (7am-midnight weekends, 7am-11pm weekdays); coin-op washer/dryers; same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; 5 rooms for those w/limited mobility, 1 w/roll-in shower.

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.
