"The fact that the rooms were smaller and it was a special hotel designed for less space should be put out somewhere in the beginning stages of a customer booking"

"This was the perfect location for my conference. Convenient to the metro, there were two food halls close by. Target is one block up. The front desk staff were courteous and assisted with metro questions. As a single female traveling this was a perfect location and would stay here again."
