This is a grand old hotel, though it looks a bit like a hospital from the outside. It’s located 1 block from a Metro Red Line station, so you can easily travel between the hotel and IAD by train if you prefer not to rent a car. It’s even nearer to a bus stop and is walking distance to the zoo. Reception staff were super friendly and helpful and our vegetarian breakfast at Richard’s was delicious (the buttermilk pancakes were the best I’ve ever had, though would have been even better if offered real maple syrup). There’s a pleasant garden in back as well as a large heated pool that’s open all hours.

The location is excellent, just minutes from the Red subway line and bus lines which take you to the main attractions and to Union Station as well. There are small restaurants, a CVS pharmacy and a small grocery store just around the corner, the Zoo is very close. The hotel is huge and beautiful, old time charm. There is a little cafe inside the hotel where you can buy coffee, fruits, croissants etc and a bar for evening drinks. There is a children's play room with instructor in the morning, jenga and chess on the tables for anyone to use. The pool area is exceptional, open from 6am to 10pm, beach bar, lunch menu, kind and nice staff, water aerobics on some days, free drinking water. The garden is amazing. Free Wifi for only Omni Select guests, so it is a good idea to sign up. Room service was prompt and efficient. We loved the hotel.

The hotel overall is beautiful. Amazing lobby, pool area, rooms. My room as amazing, overlooking the main street, but really spacious and comfortable. The location was very convenient, close to restaurants and bars, and also very well connected via public transportation.

the room was very nice and was able to spread out a little bit. The downstairs area (lobby, conference rooms, etc) were immaculate. I don't like to valet my car, however they made it a very easy process and didn't limit how many times I could use my car when my co-worker and I would go out (although we would typically go out once a day). It was a little away from town, but not that far.

Across the street was a fantastic diner we had breakfast at twice as well as a restaurant called Flavorture that had exceptional food and a great vibe. A metro station entrance was really close for convenience and if you’re up for walking the zoo was exactly 0.5 mile away with more tasty sit down places for lunch and dinner right outside. Hotel staff were always polite and gracious.

My daughter liked it. The staff was perfect and I don't say that easily. Professional, warm and courteous from the low wage workers to the managers. Bravo!

The beds were very comfy so even with a family of four sharing a room, we all got great nights of sleep. It was quiet at night despite the huge size of hotel. The children very much enjoyed the pool. Morsels little shop was great and the little shop sold international stamps, along with many other useful items. We used the metro to travel around so the location very close to the station was perfect.

The staff was courteous and nice, particularly the front desk agent, Crystal. The room was very large and spacious by today's standards. The pool was perfect after a hot day sightseeing. This property is not the most modern but it was a great value, particularly when compared to other properties that offer similar amenities.
