“The hotel stands out for its tech-integrated rooms and Capitol views from the rooftop bar. I noted that while the location is prime for accessing major attractions and transport, dining options on-site are limited, especially later in the evening. Its modern, eco-conscious approach appeals to business and leisure travelers alike.”
