We stayed here on New Year's Eve with family in the hope that we would see fireworks. We did not get to see one by the harbor (maybe because it rained earlier), but we were able to see fireworks from the DC area right from our hotel window. It was such a sight! I am glad that we opted for the riverside view because we can see the Christmas tree, the ferris wheel, and the fireworks. The room was big and super clean. The staff responded to our request for extra cups immediately. The price that we paid for comes with free breakfast. The croissant was amazing. We will definitely come back again. Also, on our way to the hotel from the parking garage, we tried going through the back door. It was locked, but the hotel staff who were coming back from their break asked if we were checking in. We said yes, so they let us come in with them and showed us the way to the reception lobby. We really appreciate the gesture!
