Every so often we feature a hotel review from one of our readers that we feel should be shared with the rest of you dear hotel guests. These reviews are highlighted because they are timely, about cool hotels in cool places and are relatively level-headed. Think you can submit one just like this? Send it in. This review actually comes from our mother who has finally started to understand what our day job is. Enjoy.

The hotel experience was about average. It was the Liaison in D. C.

The room was small with too much furniture. The desk was opposite the bed and had a desk chair in between the two. So I stubbed my bunion on the chair while walking through to the other side of the room. The rest of the hotel is cramped with low-ceilings and it looks kinda dingy.

I had to call for a shower cap which was supposed to be in room. But by the time it arrived I had already showered using plastic bag trick. [Ed. Note: You don't wanna know about this trick. But you can probably imagine what it entails.]

Then in the morning, I was awakened by a fork lift under my window. I called to complain and then they performed the work with much less noise. [Ed. Note: The hotel is working on a new restaurant from Art Smith.]

However, all was forgiven when I got a call at home the day after I had checked out. I had left my two expensive evening bags there. Don't ask me why. The housekeeping director who called me said, "How could you leave such lovely things behind?" They are sending them to me. Lucky but Dumb.

Lesson learned: Don't bring more than one handbag.

Thanks Mom! Any one else stayed at the Affinia Liasion in DC? Let us know how it went.

    I had no idea this hotel even existed. But I hear Affinia is going to do a multi-million dollar renovation soon. I wonder what it was before.

    I believe it was a Holiday Inn

    The Hyatt is right across the street and is undergoing major renovations and should be avoided this summer
