This is a Trusted Review. Why?

People are nice there due to their religious background which, as a Chinese, I do not fully understand. Plus, the location is very near to the Capitol Hill. One can just take a couple of minutes to walk from the hotel to the Capitol Hill. But if you want to have fun in that hotel, don't go there.
