"First time staying here at this beautiful Historic Hotel... it will definitely be my "go-to" every time I am back in DC. From the friendly/helpful staff, the historic charm, the ideal location, the rooms are fantastic and completely quiet from the outside noise of DC; the cleaning crew was impeccable every single day replenishing everything without asking; the rooms are a generous size and beautifully decorated. STK Happy Hour is right around the corner 🍸🙌 Morrison Clark you are a gem in...
