“This waterfront property impresses with its modern design and prime location in the Wharf district, though some may find the additional amenity fee surprising; the rooftop pool and full-service spa are notable highlights. While occasional service hiccups have been mentioned, the hotel's ambience and amenities generally aim for a luxury experience. I'd say it is worth considering for those seeking a vibrant D.C. stay.”
