The LINE Hotel DC

Beautiful building, but over priced...

Liked: The beds are the best part other than the coffee shop
Disliked: Some of the front desk staff acted like they really didn’t want to be there, less than friendly

Good

Disappointed and surprised it’s affiliated...

Liked: The room
Disliked: Unable to use any of the main hotel areas due to a private function.

Good

Disliked: first room very loud because of aircondition ventilators outside - moved to new room

I would never stay in...

Liked: The staff moved my room on night number four to a quieter floor and location.
Disliked: Great care must be taken if you book this hotel. The water in the taps dribbles out, the cleanliness is only so-so.The most important thing is to specify where your room will be located. I was located in a room above trash, truck and deliveries where the noise levels kept me awake. I was woken at 3 am the first night I managed to sleep with the banging and clanging. For three nights until they could move me I had very little sleep. Also, the neighboring bar had loud music until 12:50 in the morning one night. The light on a neighboring porch was on and off all night long also.

Beautiful surroundings but lacks customer...

Liked: The building is beautiful and the location is walkable and safe with lots of variety to eat and drink.
Disliked: Housekeeping. At 11pm, when I was in bed almost asleep, housekeeping came into my room. I yelled "excuse me" and she left apologetic, but I'm wondering why that even happened. I was shaken, and it took me a while to fall back asleep. The water temperature. That night I took a shower and the water was so hot I scalded myself and then the next morning around 8:30 I went to get into the shower again and it was frigid and wouldn't warm up. I called the front desk to let them know and they said they would send engineering up. I asked them for a couple of minutes to get dressed and they said "sure". Engineering didn't show up until 10:15, at that time the water was warmer, and not scalding, but I was ready to go do other things and didn't bother. The front desk extended my checkout to 12pm, which was fine, but felt inadequate, especially after the incident with housekeeping the night before. The engineer was very nice when he came by. The shower. The showerhead in general does not offer a pleasant showering experience. The water comes out like a faucet all at once and the soap dispensers didn't pump out the soap, I had to unscrew them to get anything out.I don't often complain, but no one offered to help or apologize for the housekeeping incident which feels like a safety concern and then the hotel double-charged me.. and now I'm just frustrated.

Disliked: Paid $450 security deposit on arrival. We pre paid fees a month in advance and did not incur any additional expenditure. Checked out 26 March and despite numerous emails, phone calls and assurances that it had been released it has not. Almost 30 days later I’m going to have to address this with my bank. Be careful if you’re on a budget or near your credit card limit. A nice enough hotel but frankly not worth the hassle. Very disappointed.
