A big disappointment. Perhaps it was because we had really high hopes.... Afterall, four presidents have stayed here. First the good: the staff was very polite, the rooms seem very clean, they offer ice water and ice lemon water in the lobby, they have great water pressure in the shower, and they put in some effort into keeping up the grounds as there are lots of flowers. Beyond that, it was a let down. We checked in on a Sunday and by Monday night, the same dirty glasses were in our hallway that greeted us on our arrival.
The arm chairs in the lobby are thread bare.
The rugs need cleaning.
There are no nightstands in the room, so there is no convenient place to charge one's phone.
I booked a king-size room, but it only came with one chair--It isn't as if there wasn't enough room to put another chair.
The free coffee that they include for $14.99 daily charge had a lot of coffee grounds in the bottom of it.
Although the bed looks very comfortable, I found it lacking and I woke with a sore back.
