Superb

Liked: I spent 5 days at the hotel. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. The room had everything I needed and more. The room was stylish and modern, just like the rest of the hotel. It was very clean and well-lit due to the large window in the room. The staff was friendly and always willing to answer questions and provide assistance. The breakfast was delicious. The bed was comfortable and large. The hotel was conveniently located, just 15 minutes from the waterfront with a wide range of cafes and a 30-40 minute walk from the main attractions - the Capitol, Washington Monument, The White house, Lincoln Memorial, Smithsonian museums. I would stay here again.
Disliked: The breakfast is delicious, but the selection is standard, so the it is overpriced. The trash cans are incredibly small, making it difficult to dispose of food containers. Additionally, a bag would be helpful in the main trash can. There are no charging stations close to the bed. The power outlets do not support charging devices (only USB).

Liked: This spot felt really good value for a solo traveller.
Disliked: In the morning, there was no hot water in my shower and a cockroach amongst my possessions that’d I left on the bedside table. Worse was the attitude of the receptionist who just said “ok” when I told her.
