Alexander, Apr 2019
Pros (+) Really nice contemporary feel to the hotel rooms with a breathtaking indoor resort and a stunning view of the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge. It's well-maintained!
Cons (-) Everything within the resort is pretty overpriced. Their parking is outsourced, so it doesn't seem it can be integrated into your hotel bill (especially during events at the convention centre portion of the property.)
