Nice for a night
We needed an overnight stay for a wedding. The check in was easy, the room extremely clean. We only stayed the one night but the beds were comfortable. The tv worked fine and check out was easy least. I would definitely stay here again

Decent location, not great ammentities
Decent hotel for one night stay located in a good location near the park. Ran out of food at breakfast so don't count on that when booking. Gym was limited. Room was comfortable but felt not super clean

Arrived to the hotel and checked in, get to the room and it looked like one of the beds had been laid in. Called the front desk they were very kind and offered a new room, so we swapped. Our biggest issue with the hotel was the scary parking garage. It was narrow, dark, damp, and someone was fixing a car down there and had it on jacks.

Could have been better
This is not a boutique Hotel ! It served its purpose for what we needed, which has a place to lay our head at night. I first started off with a good time. I have an issue customer service to correct whatever the problem was very friendly to the negatives the room key card need to be updated because the system that they have now is outdated and terrible. Most people’s wallets are on their phones. My room did not have a phone in it and when I asked you about that I have no idea I cannot call the front desk to tell them I need more towels or a blanket because there was no phone in my room and I tried to call my cell phone, but no one picked up. Over all my stay was a 6 out of 10

We were unable to stay due to illness and after multiple attempts between us and hotel.com staff we were unable to reach anyone at the site, neither was the corporate office able to get through to their own property. This speaks volumes to me and we were still charged. I will never book with any Ascend hotel again.

Beautiful view
It was a great room with a beautiful view. We were close to a lot of historic and federal places.
