The hotel is in a very convenient and safe location with easy access to a Metro station, many restaurants, and the many must-see museums, etc. The lobby is beautiful and the bar was nice, lovely staff, too. My only complaint is the cleanliness/property conditions. On the surface, everything is quite clean, but the carpets are very old and there's no ventilation, even in the bathroom, so I suspect dust and mold are settling into carpets and/or the walls. I had horrible allergy attacks every night and that's completely unusual for me unless there's a lot of hidden dust/mold in either the carpets, walls, or pillows. The rooms are comfortable and nice otherwise, but the carpets need to be stripped out and either replaced with new ones, or flooring should be put in. It's far more hygienic anyway. I overheard a guest complaining about the same thing in the bar/restaurant area as well.
