Room was clean. Staff was great and always willing to help. Had a shuttle to the metro station which was great as it was cold outside. If I am back in the area I will stay again.
Clean room, organized staff, showers work :), and a little cheaper than the surrounding hotels. They breakfast was very much a regular hotel free breakfast, but hygienically presented and well organized.
