The verdict

This Chevy Chase property offers generous two-room suites situated directly above the Friendship Heights Metro station. Guests consistently appreciate the friendly customer service and the complimentary breakfast with made-to-order omelets. However, noise from crowds and tour groups gathering in the large central atrium frequently carries up to the rooms, and visitors note occasional housekeeping and maintenance oversights. 319718
