The hotel rooms were comfortable and spotless with thoughtful finishing touches, offering extremely comfortable beds. However, the lack of a second mirror in the room was a bit inconvenient. The service was fantastic, with efficient, friendly, and accommodating staff, providing amenities like room service, dry cleaning, and valet parking. The location was excellent, situated in the old embassy district surrounded by small independent shops, cafes, and restaurants, creating a cozy European city vibe. The dining experience was good, though it was recommended to order a la carte instead of opting for the $25 breakfast. The hotel facilities were well-maintained and added value to the stay.

When I arrived, the room wasn't ready, but eventually, I got a nice view of part of the area. However, the rooms felt like depressing closets, and the view was only of another building. On the bright side, it was quiet inside.
