I recently returned from a quick overnight trip to Washington, DC for a retirement party. I can't say enough about the service at this hotel. I travel frequently and it's not often that the service is this exceptional. Mike, the manager, was helpful from my very first phone call (looking for directions) to parking to helping with my accommodations. Pam...

I just returned from a 2 week stay at the Carlyle St Residence Inn. Here are a few observatiuons:
Negatives:
1. Dining Area
I'm not talking about the rooms, I'm referrung to the communal dining area on the first floor. There are insufficient tables to handle the peak dining needs of the hotel. Consequently, there are people who are forced...

We stayed two nights here. Everything was top flight. The bed was a good sleep. Lots of room. The one thing that was a problem for me was we asked for a handicap room and that is what we got, but it was not as equipped as it should be. There was only one grab bar at the side of...

I coach a high school lacrosse team and we brought our team up to the Residence Inn. We could not have been happier with the hotel and its staff. They were polite, professional, helpful, and all around great. The hotel is located with in walking distance of some great restaurants and shops. Traveling with a large party can be stressful...

This was my first time in this hotel. I usually frequent the Residence in on Duke Street. Never again. This hotel has the Duke St. location beat hands down. The staff is much nicer and more accomodating. The rooms are of a much better quality than the Duke Street location - which are typical cheap Northern Virginia construction like most...

Comfortable, clean, modern, spacious living room, bedroom, & kitchenette. One of the *best* RI breakfasts. (It's a mystery how RI serves near identical- ingredient breakfasts across the brand, yet some breakfasts taste markedly better (at some hotels) than others. (Perhaps it's each chef's/cook's special touch.)
Healthy breakfast options, but evening meals are not up to breakfast standards. (The only negative...
