I could hear everything said and going on in the hall outside my room, and I could hear the person next door talking on the phone and watching TV. My room was set up for one person--no closet, but a cabinet with hardly roomto hang a couple of days' clothing for one person (room safe and ironing board were in the cabinet, too), and one single cup of coffee or decaf. During the summer, the food concessions attached (Subway, KFC, Taco Bell, Starbucks, and a few others) close before dinner so a walk to another building on campus at Georgetwon University or a cab to a restaurant may be needed. I took a cab from Regan National Airport; If there was a parking lot or garage, I never saw it. You will be on a crowded college campus next to the Georgetown hospital/med center. No fitness center was mentioned in the materials in my room, no refrigerator or microwave. The Black and Decker iron was the best I've used! This was my second stay. Federal agencies seem to use this hotel and conference center for conferences. They give government rate rooms and the conference areas are more than adequate for small conferences. Unfortunately, if coffee is not provided at your conference (it wasn't at either I attended), there isn't any available nearby. You don't have time to walk to Starbucks, stand in line to order and pay, and get your coffee before your break is over.

Wednesday- Saturday stay to bring student home from DC program, have one day to relax, and visit GU.. We traveled without a car, did not do any sight seeing in DC. I was a bit concerned after reading some reviews, but I had none of the problems discussed in reviews. Air conditioning was great and it was very hot during my stay. We traveled with Ipad/iphone so did not have to pay for internet. We experience some chains still charge for internet, though it seems unreasonable.... Hotel has a printer for boarding passes, one located at front desk, another hidden away in the the business center located off the main lobby in the conference area... We booked through the hotel website, so paid the normal AAA rate. Had a nice view of campus from 5th floor room. Very comfortable, clean, updated room. It was easy to get a cab or car service from hotel. taxi stand directly outside hotel. The car service hotel arranged to Dulles was about the same rate ($65) 2 passengers would pay for a shuttle. Taxi i took from Reagan Airport to hotel was $18. Also used car service for event in Arlington. Driver was a pleasure and she made the ride much more interesting than the typical cab driver. GU Shuttle located just down a block from the hotel, we never used it, but seemed to be very popular. It was not obvious to me initially, but you could reach the student center (food court, bookstore, cafe, market) directly from the hotel lobby, never having to go outside.This was very useful considering the hot temperatures outside. Small student market for snacks, fruit,water, and priced at the normal rate. Across a path from the hotel the Epicurean Dining was perfect for dinner/takeout (salad, pizza, sushi, etc). Much better quality/atmosphere than expected from a college food court. We did not use Faculty Club Restaurant (located in the hotel's conference area), buffet opened for lunch and dinner. Noticed a "free" self service laundry room, on the 5th floor, though we did not use.. Hotel provided newspapers in the lobby and it seemed that apples where at the front desk in the morning.The hotel staff was very helpful, I asked lots of questions about walking directions since I initially had no idea where I was in relation to the campus and downtown. It would have been more helpful if they just offered the maps originally, but I guess they incorrectly assumed I knew where I was going. Very easy walk to downtown. Less than 15 minutes to Georgetown shopping area.Highlights from downtown: "old stone house" historic sight, Georgetown cupcakes ( pre-noon lines seemed shorter), Dean and Delucca market, experiencing the old townhomes/cobblestones walkways.

Stayed here for a wedding. Nice, clean rooms. Can be hard to find if you're not familiar with the area/location.

Two of my electronic chargers were stolen throughout my 2 week stay. On the second day of my stay my daughter's Ipad charger was stolen and on the 6th day my Tmobile cell phone charger was stolen out of my room. Don't leave your chargers out in the open, please hide them in your suitcases, because housekeeping will steal them.
