Cigarette smoke in hallways (not a single non-smoking floor)8th FLOOR HAD NO SMOKE
Bars unusable due to heavy smoke . DON'T USE THE HOTEL BAR\
Wifi requires daily login POOR BABY. WIFI WAS FAIR.
Dated furniture and carpets YEP.
Traffic noise in rooms facing street STAY ON THE INSIDE. WE HAD A TYPHOON GO OVERHEAD. DID NOT HEAR IT.
No bus service NOT ALL THAT BIG A REQUIREMENT. TAXI SERVICE WAS WONDERFUL
Thin towels NOT IN MY ROOM
No convenient coffee (e.g. starbucks) or convenience store nearby (e.g. 7/11) YEP
Mediocre staff attitude across-the-board (exc. Concierge) I FOUND THE ENTIRE STAFF TO BE OF EXTREMELY HIGH QUALITY, WELL TRAINED, AND COMPETENT. HOW YOU RATE THE WASH DC AND NYC STAFF?
I'll agree with the above. Just spent 6 nights there (on points), also on the 8th floor. No smoking or smell at all. I'm sure I saw signs saying there was no smoking on that floor. We faced the Garden of Philosophy and it was dead quiet, and we had the window open the entire time. Staff was great, towels were nice and thick and the #5 bus stopped just a block (or maybe 2?) away. And the subway station is just steps away to the right. There is a convenience store in the basement and a Lawson Station a block away to the left. We had a great stay and would go back in a heartbeat.
Slawecki, I wonder if we passed you in the hallway or lobby?
