I chose this hotel for it's convenient location and it was definitely a great locale! It is also safe and within walking distance for the sights I wanted to see. The housekeeping is not up to par - I drew back the heavy drapes to let in some light and there were cracker crumbs on the carpet. Since I was only staying for two nights, I didn't need my towels changed or the linens so I didn't put out the door sign and so none came at all! My bed remained unmade, no replacement of soap, etc.
The afternoon cocktail reception was disappointing. The only choices were soft drinks or wine; no waters or juice and there were salted nuts.
Weeks before my stay, I got repeated emails from the hotel inviting me to upgrade my room for additional money. That was annoying. The hotel does have a super concierge and give you plenty of clean towels!

We got a great deal on this extremely convenient hotel on Expedia. com. The hotel lobby was warm and welcoming. The staff was very friendly. Everyone we encountered always said hello as we passed. Our queen room was small but reminiscent of a European hotel carved out of a historical building. The room was clean and comfortable. Everything very quiet with the exception of an exit door directly opposite us that had no other mode than "slam." Unfortunately many of the people leaving a wedding that ended around 11 p.m. used this door to leave. Still not enough to ruin our stay. After all 11 is not that late! We did request a room on the 2nd floor (per earlier reviews that mentioned that the 1st floor was actually the basement) and we looked out onto the lovely patio of the Poste restaurant.
The evening reception was very nice. Very nice wine was served, Sam Adams beer, variety of gatorade style drinks, water, etc. There was a selection of lovely specialty olives and nuts for munching. The gentlemen serving couldn't have been nicer.
We love the American Art Museum/Portrait Gallery and the area around the hotel--China Town, Verizon Center, great restaurants, etc. Ford Theater is two blocks away (closed until 2/2009). This place couldn't be more convenient for those places. While there is no coffee maker in the room, coffee is served in the lobby (quite early on a weekend too--think it was around 6:30 on Sunday when my husband went to get us a couple of cups).
Pros: Comfortable room, wonderful friendly, helpful staff, close to Museums and Gallery Place Metro station, a few blocks from the Mall, great restaurants, entertainment, sports.
Cons: Small room, slamming door.
Would we stay here again? Definitely!
