I was a chaperone with a group of about 300 students visiting DC. This hotel was booked through the tour company, not the school. We had students on at least 3 floors of this hotel. The bad: My room was mediocre at best. Had a funky smell as soon as we opened the door. The carpet was buckling in several places. The charging outlet was falling out of the wall. Many of our students' rooms didn't have air conditioning that worked. At least 3 of our students got bed bug bites. One of our tour bus drivers slept in a chair because of bed bugs. One of our students found a hypodermic needle in their room. One elevator was out of order and the other one was very slow. The good: The lobby was nice and the full breakfast was great. I didn't actually come in to contact with many employees except in the banquet hall where we all had breakfast, but they were really nice and pleasant.

My take is this place needs some updating and better housekeeping. They are not properly cleaning these rooms.
