Had a wonderful time

Clean hotel, personalized services, close to restaurants, convenient stores such as Target and clothing stores. Approx 30 mins from the airport. Cost about $64, Uber is more expensive than taking an Uber. The hotel has a restaurant. The beds are comfortable. The hotel arranged tours for us so we were able to tour by land and sea.
I wouldn't come back

The Thompson Hotel is a nice facility, but the location is sketchy, and the staff lack professionalism. It has potential

Great location in Navy Yards. Amazing amenities. Great rooftop lounge. The breakfast menu is also worth it. Walking distance to baseball and soccer stadiums.

Initially refused to give me the room we reserved over a month ago. A manager corrected the problem. The bed is unsleepable with the mattress is so hard it was better to sleep on the floor.
Great Stay Overall, But a Few Things to Note

It’s a wonderful hotel, and the staff was very helpful overall. The gym is well-equipped, clean, and has everything you need. However, it’s located on the lower level with no windows, which felt a bit enclosed for me—I personally prefer a gym with a view of the outdoors.
When booking, make sure to confirm the exact room type and amenities you’ll get. I relied on the pictures and assumed I’d have a river view and a desk in the room, but neither was included. That was my mistake for not asking in advance.
Most of the staff was great during my stay, but I did encounter one person at checkout who had a negative attitude, which I didn’t appreciate.
Overall, the location is amazing, the property is clean, and the rooftop is lovely.
