Pros. Great rooms and facilities. Breakfast was a treat. Georgetown central location was perfect.

Pros. Was okay but not what I was expecting. Facilities and staff less than expected, and location a few blocks further from main attractions. Room was an odd mix of very nice and very tacky furnishings and bathroom could use an update. I suspect the high reviews are falsified by the staff or owners.
