8/10 Very good

Nice pool, fine stay
I loved the rooftop pool, and the hotel is clean and comfortable enough. I felt the reception was a mixed bag, particularly the woman at the desk who seemed annoyed at everything — annoyed people needed to check and retrieve bags, annoyed people needed help with the elevators, annoyed people needed to check in and check out. I left my cards in New York, so had to pay my deposit in cash. When I was given Mt deposit back, it was $10 short and she seemed unfazed by this. It was a small miscalculation but it was frustrating to be treated as if this were my fault. When I was leaving, it took a long time to get my bags from the storage room — almost 10 minutes. The hotel is “women’s empowerment themed” and the liberal feminist decor feels tired rather than inspiring. Still I suppose it is a nice break from some of the hypermasculine spaces in DC. As I said, I very much enjoyed the pool (though it gets a bit crowded so get there early if you want a lounge chair) and the facilities were nice overall. The other front desk staff aside from the younger woman were friendly and helpful.

6/10 Good

hotel is clean, modern style, shower was not working properly, hot and cold changes all of sudden while other customer uses at the same time. Staff should be little more friendly and welcome.
