The location is reasonably good. This is one of the RC with a connected RC resiendces, which is the other side of the building- across an interior courtyard..
The Hotel does not have its own gym or spa but for a reasonable daily fee, think of it as a hotel fee, gains access to one of the bigger Heath clubs which is located in the same building.
The CL was in my opinion very good. The CL very very good and helpful. The food ‘presentations’ were very enjoyable.
Because of the CL, I only walked past the hotel bar, which is right off the lobby. It’s a good looking space and had fairly good crowd.
the restaurant in the hotel, aside from the bar, could easily be an independent restaurant.infact those entering it from the street would likely not know it part of the RC. We had a very good meal there.
i would not really put Washington RC in a luxury category, it’s more of very good business hotel a just a bit better than a very good Marriott. But then again it’s normally not dramatic more than the a Marriott a block away.
Parking is is expensive but given the location not unexpected.
i would say it’s a good choice if you CL access but DC has a huge amount of choices under the Marriott umbrella.
