I stayed in this hotel for 5 days and paid around $250/night including taxes, through Expedia.
Pros: The location was very central and seemed safe--there were people walking around in the street until late at night. The hotel is about 5 minutes walk to M street (major Georgetown shopping and restaurant district) and right on Wisconsin Avenue, which also has many shops and restaurants. The University itself is at about a 10 - 15 minute walk. I found the service people at the front desk and in the lobby unflaggingly polite and attentive; they always went out of their way to help. My request for a quiet room was met (no noise at night despite the location on a trafficked street) and the room itself--a single with a king-sized bed--was tastefully decorated and comfortable.
The minuses: some minor maintainance issues that took away from the look of the hotel: some chipped and fading paint, an outlet cover that was askew, shower fixtures that didn´t quite work right. I also had no bathtub. Nevertheless, these were minor for me. The most inconvenient fact was that internet would have cost me a lot per day ($10.95!!!)--this should have been free for clients!! I did not pay the hotel's outrageous prices, but instead went up the street to the "Marvelous Market" (up Wisconsin a couple of blocks), where I had my breakfast (decent expresso) and connected to internet for free. Starbucks on M street also had free internet.I did have breakfast in the hotel one day, but close to $20 (including tip)seemed very expensive for a bagel with cream cheese and lox and a cappuccino! They were generous with the lox, but still....
So, because of the great service, comfortable room and location (especially for Georgetown-related business), I would give the hotel 4 stars, but do think a bit more should be provided for the price.
