Courtyard Washington, DC/Foggy Bottom

Convenient location near National Mall and public transport. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean, beautiful rooms with spacious, comfortable beds. Easy access to attractions and dining options.

Was excited about the stay here. It was a decent property, location ok, but i paid a little extra for the balcony with "city view" only to get to see the opposite exterior wall of the hotel directly in front of us, which was the majority of the view. And I know hotel room fridges are small, I have stayed in several hotels and am familiar. But this was ridiculous. To keep a 6 pck and try to get one out was like playing jenga everytime you opened the door. They all fell out. Take a lunch cooler, its probably bigger. Being sofa beds are typically uncomfortable we chose to just sleep on the couch and not even bother to pull the sofa bed out. Plus the room is so incredibly tiny that if the bed was pulled out, there would be standing room only. I sent my son to the front desk to get a sheet and a pillow to use on couch, to sleep. They sent up a pillow but told him there were sheets under the sofa bed. This was almost midnight, we were already about to sleep, not about to rearrange the room so that there was space to pull out the sofa bed to get a sheet so that we could just sleep on the couch. Just give us a sheet, that would have been great. And, even though it says there is limited onsite parking, apparently there is not. I called on our way there to inquire more about the limited onsite and she said that is not offered. Finally, onsite bar and restaurant disappointing. Usually you're on vacation and may want to eat past 10. Closes up pretty early.

Hotel was nice, convenient, extremely $$$ because of Inauguration. Biggest complaint was lack of water pressure and no hot water. Manager was nice to credit some points but for over $1000 a night just expected a bit more.
