The check-in process was straightforward, though I was unaware of the $100/night incidental hold or that parking was directed to the Ritz Carlton lot at $40 per 24 hours. The room itself was affordable for a weekend in DC, but it did not match the website's representation—oddly shaped, with an extremely small bathroom. Additionally, the A/C unit's access door was inside our room, which was an unusual and inconvenient setup.
The biggest issue was the A/C system, which only offered "Fan On" or "Fan Auto" modes. Even on "Auto," the fan ran loudly all night, making it difficult to sleep. Soundproofing was also poor—thin windows allowed constant noise from the neighboring rum bar, Costa’s, which was active late into the night.
The hotel’s aesthetics felt outdated, far from the modern, boutique experience expected from a Tapestry by Hilton. Having recently stayed at another Tapestry property in Wilmington, NC (which was excellent), this location fell significantly short in comparison. Modern amenities like Chromecast or AirPlay were missing, and the cable options were limited, resembling those of a budget motel rather than a Hilton-affiliated hotel.
While the room was clean and the neighborhood felt safe, the overall quality and comfort were lacking. I would not recommend this particular Tapestry location and hope Hilton considers updates to align it with the brand's usual standards.
