The launch of catalien was a night to remember!
Thank you to the large crowd who attended the launch of catalien last night at Exclusive Books. Our first launch of the year was a memorable one. Oliver's poems, engaging as they do with the disparate and often disturbing character of the human/animal relationship, are, in this time of coronavirus, more relevant than ever. Pick up a copy of catalien in our online bookstore or at better bookstores near you.Congratulations to our competition winner, Joanne Hichens, who won a complimentary copy of catalien.

Dryad Press is excited to announce that its poets Joan Hambidge, Sally Ann Murray and Beverly Rycroft will be appearing at the Toyota University of Stellenbosch Woordfees 2020.
9 March 2020 at 15:30 Adam Small Seminar Room: Join Beverly Rycroft in conversation with Bibi Slippers on how her Dryad Press collections, A Private Audience and missing are woven from a personal space and time.
11 March 2020 at 15:30 Adam Small Seminar Room: Sally Ann Murray's collection Otherwise Occupied was published by Dryad Press in 2019 to outstanding reviews. Take this unique opportunity to hear the Chair of English at Stellenbosch University, in conversation with Joan Hambidge (literary critic, reviewer and Hofmeyr Chair in Afrikaans at the University of Cape Town) discuss her collection and read from her poems.
Announcing the Launch of Oliver Findlay Price's catalien
Dryad Press, in association with Exclusive Books, is proud to announce the new collection in the Dryad Press Living Poets Series by Oliver Findlay price, catalien.
This unique debut collection of poems engages with the Surrealist notion of a rebus – a puzzle device that combines images to depict a new word and which requires unexpected creative conjunctions that confuse then delight when the puzzle is resolved. The collection harnesses a liberal range of human emotions combined with a deceptively charming wickedness. In amongst a terrain of cats, fish, birds, dolphins, lizards and snakes, Findlay Price deftly draws the reader into his idiosyncratic world.
Join us at Exclusive Books, Cavendish in Claremont, Cape Town on Thursday, 5 March 2020 at 18:00 for 18:30 to hear Oliver Findlay Price in conversation with critic and poet Joan Hambidge, read from his work.
We look forward to sharing this exciting new collection with you!

Dryad Press, in association with Exclusive Books, is proud to present this serious, often playful, sometimes outrageous volume of poetry by Sally Ann Murray, Chair of the English Department at Stellenbosch University.
Murray draws inspiration from contemporary women's experimental poetics, inflecting poetry's familiar inner speech with the sounds and shapes of found materials and engaging cultural noise. In Otherwise Occupied, the poem becomes otherwise under innovative necessity and performative exploration.

Open submission period in April 2019
Dryad Press is pleased to confirm that it has made its selections for publication in 2019. Watch this space for an announcement regarding forthcoming publications in 2019! Dryad will also be accepting submissions for original collections of poetry from South African poets, or poets living in South Africa.
Please take note of the following important information:
Submissions will be open from 1 April to 30 April 2019.
Manuscripts must be predominantly written in English or Afrikaans, or a combination of those languages. Every manuscript will be read, and all will be considered for publication.
We ask for smaller collections of poetry of between 50-60 pages. Most books published by Dryad Press contain approximately 40 poems and we recommend that you submit manuscripts that do not substantially exceed this in length.
We recommend that you obtain and read collections of poetry previously published by Dryad Press. Our collections are available online at www.dryadpress.co.za, at most Exclusive Books stores and at better bookstores nationwide. This will assist you in gaining an understanding of the type of poetry that we publish.
Successful manuscripts will be published in the manner and format that Dryad Press deems appropriate.
Manuscripts containing poems previously published in magazines, anthologies, journals, or online will be accepted, as long as each previously-published poem is acknowledged in the manuscript. Manuscripts that have already been published previously – including self-publishing – will not be accepted.
We accept manuscripts from writers of any experience, whether they have published a collection of poetry before or not. We do, however, strongly recommend that you obtain the advice and assistance of a trusted colleague or friend (preferably experienced in the collation of literary collections) prior to submitting your work. Manuscripts that have been carefully compiled and thought out tend to stand out and have a better chance of success.

We can also arrange everything else you may need too such as travel insurance, assistance at airports and the hiring of specialist equipment. So whether you want to visit the Straits of Gibraltar in the south to the medieval town of Oviedo in the north, the only thing you'll need to remember after having a great time in Spain is the date you're due to come home!

The SORT project ('Standardised On-Road Test cycles'), an initiative of the UITP Bus Committee, first aimed at providing the bus sector with a standardised means of comparing the energy consumption of different buses.
To meet the changing needs of the sector, SORT has recently expanded its scope to include electric buses. The newly branded 'E-SORT' has the aim to measure, in an accurate and reproducible way, the traction energy consumption and to obtain information on the Zero Emissions range of a bus.
After two years of research, UITP is now releasing E-SORT, a new addendum to the initial UITP SORT brochure: Standardised On Road Test Cycles for electric buses. This methodology allows bus operators to access comparative data regarding traction energy consumption (either fuel, gas or electricity) and information on the optimal daily range for electric buses. The test protocol applies to two types of buses: full electric buses and hybrid buses that can be externally re-charged (plug-in hybrid electric bus).
This new addendum is of use to bus operators, public transport authorities (during tender procedures) and the bus industry as a reference document.
Download the 'SORT Cycles for electric buses' protocol (UITP members only)
Practical information:
Title: UITP project "E-SORT" – Standardised On Road Test Cycles for electric buses
Format: 20 pages – print and PDF
Language: English
Price for UITP members: €0,00
Price for non-members: not for sale separately - only provided as addendum to the purchase of the full SORT brochure, latest edition 2014

This delicious black tea blend was called Breakfast Tea in Scotland until Queen Victoria had a sip at Balmoral Castle in 1852. She liked it so much, she took a supply back to London, and it has been called English Breakfast Tea ever since. Taste it and you'll understand. Forty teabags of pure Ceylon teas, sealed in foil and packed in Sri Lanka in an embossed, reusable tin with hinged cover and handsome Art Deco design. 5½"w x 3 3/4"h x 3"d. Makes a great gift.

October – 2012 Fall and Halloween
October has been an amazing month for us as we've settled into our new place. Big sister was back from school for fall break and Sophie loved every minute of it. We heard many giggles and screams of delight as those 2 played together. It's such a blessing when our whole family can be together.
On a fun fall night, we spent it picking pumpkins, decorating them, had a fire, and so of course we had to introduce Lil'S to smores! After she saw us make the first one she grabbed a stick and marshmallow with full intent on making her own.
We celebrated Halloween by going to about 4 houses in our new neighborhood. For the first time, I heard Sophie say "Thank You" loudly and unprompted. It's these simple moments when it really strikes a chord in your heart as you remember how far this miracle child has come.
4 Responses to "October – 2012 Fall and Halloween"
Wow she has really grown up. What a sweetie.
I'm so happy Sophie is doing so well. She is still in my prayers every night.

Kakamegakakamega county, kakamega high school
Kakamega is a town in western Kenya lying about 30 km north of the Equator It is the headquarters of Kakamega County The town has a population of 99,987 2009 census1
Kakamega is 52 km north of Kisumu, the third largest city in Kenya and a port city on Lake Victoria The average elevation of Kakamega is 1,535 metres
Kakamega county is Kenya's second most populous county after Nairobi The county has 9 constituencies in total, namely Butere, Mumias East, Matungu, Khwisero, Shinyalu, Lurambi, ikolomani, Lugari and Malava
Kakamega was so named because the word "kakamega" translates roughly to "pinch" in Kiluhyah, which was used to describe how European colonists would eat the staple food, ugali

Kakamega derives its modern name from the local dialect The story goes that when European settlers first visited the area now known as Kakamega and were offered maize meal, the local staple food called Obusuma, they tried to emulate the eating style for which the tribe was famous To the hosts though, the visitors were more like 'pinching' the Obusuma The resulting administrative area was named 'Kakamega', which roughly translates to 'pinch'2
EconomicseditCrying Stone of Ilesi
Local Inhabitants are mostly the Luhya tribe, whose economic activity is mainly farming and fishing
Kakamega serves as the headquarters of Kenya's largest sugar producing firm, Mumias Sugar, located in the town of Mumias3
Kakamega was the scene of the Kakamega gold rush in the early 1930s, fueled partly by the reports of the geologist Albert Ernest Kitson4
Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology is a new institution of higher learning created by an act of parliament in December 2006 which is in the heart of Kakamega town on the Kakamega-Webuye road It is expected to spur growth in this capital of Western Province
Kakamega Forest is the main tourist destination in the area Another attraction is the Crying Stone of Ilesi located along the highway towards Kisumu It is a 40 metres high rock dome resembling a human figure whose "eyes" drop water5
In the recently concluded elections, Wycliffe Oparanya was voted as the first Governor of Kakamega County Kakamega forms a municipality with ten wards Amalemba, Bukhulunya, Central, Mahiakalo, Maraba, Matende, Milimani, Musaa, Shibiriri and Sichilayi All of them belong to Lurambi Constituency, which has a total of fifteen wards The remaining five are located within Kakamega municipal Council, the rural council of Kakamega District6
Kakamega area receives a very high amount of annual precipitation and contains Kakamega Forest, a preserve which is a remnant of a rainforest that stretched west through Uganda
As a rainforest, the canopy of the trees has grown into a thin mesh of interlocking top branches that block most sunlight from reaching the ground below, resulting in less vegetation at the ground level With few bushes along the darkened forest floor, the main obstacle is ancient fallen tree trunks blocking the paths between the standing trees The German funded project BIOTA East is working in the forest since 2001, whereby firstly forest inventories for all sorts of life forms were performed and the aim is to find strategies for a sustainable use of the forest
More than 400 species of birds have been found in the Kakamega rainforest The many song birds fill the air with various birdcalls
Kakamega is also home to Africa's largest and most aggressive cobra, the Kakamega forest cobra Reputed by locals to spend a lot of time in the trees, stories abound of fearsome attacks on unsuspecting passers-by Other snakes in the area include the forest adder, black mamba, and the green mamba
Forest Tour Guideedit
There are official guides in Kakamega rainforest who take tourists visiting the forest around in the forest nature trails, and they explain the biodiversity of Kakamega forest Most of the tour guides have participated in various areas of research into the biology of the forest, and they are thus well qualified to describe the area The guides will also tell visitors about Luyhia Luhya cultural practices such as circumcision and bullfighting, and give information about the medicinal plants in Kakamega forest Guiding association in Kakamega forest

Watchmen writers on studio changes
There's an interesting interview with David Hayter, one of the writers of the Watchmen film adaptation, online. The reason I find it interesting is that he reveals what changes the studios wanted to make to it before releasing the film.
What's surprising is that they wanted to make such fundamental changes that it wouldn't be Watchmen any more, and these are the pen pushing, accounts focused, studio executives. What do they know about one of the most successful comic series ever? Well you can see next to nothing.
According to David Hayter they took the Watchmen script to four different Hollywood studios and they were all pretty much asking the same questions, and idiotic ones at that:
"It was protecting the integrity of the project from all the different studios we took it to. I had it at four different studios and it would inevitably come down to the same notes, which were "It's a six-person movie, can we make it about one person?" and "We don't like all these flashbacks, can we get rid of these flashbacks?" Well, we're stretching over events that reach for 40 years, so we kind of need the flashbacks, and it's not about one person, it's about six people. So, I can write you a movie with no flashbacks and only one main character, but that's not Watchmen, that's a different thing, and you're gonna have to pay me again. So eventually, we would part ways with each successive studio as they lost their nerve to make that movie and what we knew."
Lost their nerve? Hardly, it doesn't sound like they lost their nerve at all, it sounds like they were out to totally butcher the project from the start and just make something that would fill out the balance sheets - six actors cost too much, flashbacks would need a lot of production work.
The comments from Hayter come from The Week in Geek through WatchmenComicMovie.com and FirstShowing, and really stagger belief - how could the studio's be so blind to what the story really is?
You have to wonder what stupid changes studios are putting other films through before they get to the big screen, or get scrapped. Imagine what Watchmen would have been if they had just made it about one character and in the present day? There goes your depth and we'd have a simple Watchman superhero story. Idiots.

The Challenge
Dyckerhoff AG implemented the solution in two separate projects. In the first phase, the team focused on converting its current consolidation and reporting tools in the new technology environment. Stage two, the planning module, will follow in the upcoming months.
CCH Tagetik Solution
- Single platform for consolidation, reporting and planning
- Support for complex consolidation scenarios
- Simplified, user-friendly reporting
- Financial reporting from a central database
A single platform for all processes
From data collection to consolidation and reporting, CCH Tagetik gives a single platform for planning, consolidation and reporting
Customer-oriented approach
Whenever problems emerged during the project, CCH Tagetik was very open and always strived to provide a solution
Built-in analytics
Since ad hoc reports and analysis are part of the controllers' daily work, they especially value the flexibility of the new solution
Adapting reports
Existing ad-hoc reports can also be used directly – and published – for the Web's standard reporting
More Intercompany Relationships
Users can now reconcile intercompany relationships during the input process, trying to match them centrally at a later stage
Improved the data entry process
Dyckerhoff now simply collects the information in online forms before converting and importing files in different systems
Customer Quote
During the very first presentation, we could already see that CCH Tagetik is a very strong tool for reporting. At this point, we already knew that our controllers would be thrilled by its potential, reporting flexibility and, of course, Excel-like environment.
Sascha Lenkiewicz, Head of Group Accounting, Dyckerhoff AG

Trump Voters to Prez: Kiss and Make Up with Sessions
Trump Voters to Prez: Kiss and Make Up with Sessions
By Joe Guzzardi
Succinctly stated, President Trump needs all the friends he can get. When Trump was a 1,000:1 long- shot presidential candidate, then-Senator, now Attorney General Jeff Sessions went to bat for the embattled real estate mogul, a courageous move that estranged him from most of his congressional colleagues.
Sessions was drawn to Trump because of his strong immigration enforcement platform. Since Trump's election, much of his immigration agenda, including most prominently the wall, has been stalled. President Trump has waffled on several immigration pledges, too, like ending deferred action for childhood arrivals, DACA, and tightening up on employment-based temporary visas. Only Sessions' vigorous commitment to internal enforcement - vigorous at least when compared to previous administrations - has saved President Trump from an open revolt championed by his base.
, Under the new administration's leadership and prompted by President Trump's executive orders that gave broader authority to agents, Immigration and Customs Enforcement's stepped-up removals have led to a sharp decline in illegal border crossings. ICE has arrested more than 41,300 aliens since President Trump's inauguration and through April 29, a 38 percent increase from the same period in 2016. Nearly 75 percent of the arrested aliens have convictions for violent crimes that include homicide, rape, kidnapping and assault. The AG's next removal targets are criminal aliens harbored in the nation's 300 sanctuary cities.
Sessions has overseen the escalated campaign to remove aliens, especially criminals, but also as Department of Homeland Security John Kelly stated in February anyone illegally present.
But the recent dust-up between President Trump and Sessions threatens all the AG has accomplished. In, of all places, a New York Times interview, President Trump excoriated Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia investigation, and piled on when he said that he would never have appointed the Alabama senator had he known beforehand his intentions. The media, always eager to stir up trouble, made much of President Trump's criticism, and futilely hoped that Sessions would resign.
President Trump can count on one hand his Capitol Hill friends, and last week he called out GOP leaders for their failure to get on board. In a series of frustrated tweets, President Trump wrote that it is "very sad" that Republicans "do very little to protect their president," including those in Congress during the 2016 election who he carried "over the line on my back."
Although President Trump didn't name names, top on his list should be Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan. McConnell, during his 30-year Senate career, has supported more overseas workers, and been weak on ending amnesty enticements. Ryan isn't much better, and is a particularly strong refugee resettlement advocate. McConnell and Ryan should be President Trump's staunchest advocates, but they're more aligned with the Democratic opposition.
President Trump is the nation's first dogless chief executive since William McKinley, 1897-1901. Without a pet pooch, President Trump needs to keep his friends close. Sessions' credentials as an ally are impeccable, and President Trump is foolish to publicly malign him.

Kiffin picks starting quarterback
USC coach Lane Kiffin has decided who will be the starting quarterback for the Trojans when they take the field Saturday against Pac-12 foe Washington State in their home opener.
After rotating redshirt sophomores Cody Kessler and Max Wittek throughout the team's first game against Hawai'i, it sounds as though the Trojan attack will be led by just one quarterback for the entirety of USC's matchup against the Cougars – but apparently, no one outside of the program will find out who until the Trojans' offense takes the field at the Coliseum.
"You guys will see on Saturday who he is," Kiffin said during a media press conference on Sunday.
Kessler and Wittek have been battling for the starting job for all of spring and fall camp. Kessler generally put up better statistics and made less mistakes in practice and team scrimmages, and earned the starting nod against Hawai'i for the team's season opener.
But he didn't perform with the same poise while playing the entire first half and parts of the second half against the Warriors, completing just 10 of 19 passes for 95 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Wittek eventually took over for Kessler and completed 5 of 10 passes for 77 yards, and Kiffin was noticeably less conservative in playcalling while Wittek was under center in the second half.
Wittek was allowed to attempt three passes over 40 yards, with two deep balls being dropped by USC's receivers, including a sure touchdown reception that slipped through junior wideout Marqise Lee's hands, and another drawing a pass interference call from Hawai'i.
Kessler, meanwhile, didn't throw any passes more than 25 yards, and 16 of his 19 attempts traveled less than 10 yards downfield.

Emotionally fluent, innovative, relaxing and refreshing; These are just a few of many words to describe BODY'N'SOUL, the latest release from French producer C Y G N. It isn't often an album title manages to capture the exact vibe of a project so perfectly, in such few words, but this is definitely an exception to that rule. From the uplifting Rhodes taking you on a trip through a world of contentment to the hard hitting drums and layered vocals, not only does this album have the ability to get your head nodding, it has the aptitude to soothe your soul. A go to example of creativity manifesting itself in emotion, these tracks flourish into a feeling of solace and freedom as a soundtrack to the fall.

Where and when does learning process happen? It can happen anywhere and anytime. Even a baby has already learnt since he or she is in his or her mother's womb. The process can happen automatically and naturally. This is what we desire that everyone can manage the teaching and learning in their mind. Rarely does it happen by itself effectively and efficiently. Therefore, the role of a teacher as a moderator to let natural, effective, and efficient self teaching and learning happen is very crucial.
First of all, let define what processes and sequence are involved in teaching and learning.
Planning is the initial process of teaching and learning. Planning the teaching and learning process usually involves
- the goal or objectives of the process
- the steps of learning or teaching points
- the material or the resources needed to get the process done
- the activities to achieve the objectives or goal based on the teaching or learning points
Planning can ease the process of teaching and learning as either teachers or learners know what they need to do prior their next step of exploration. By planning, learners and teachers should be able to cope all expected goal or objectives.
Sometimes people can say that they learn without planning. Anyway, planning doesn't always appear in a form of writing. It often stays in our mind accidentally. Once people feel curious about something, inquiries come in their mind and they just flow and lead people to go to the next steps of thinking. That is what happen to young learners naturally. It becomes a desire to explode. As a teacher, leading the inquiry into something more organised can sharpen the study skills of the learners. It means that planning doesn't always start from the teacher. When learning is started from learners and it is well directed, it can increase the love of learning.
Anyway, such natural learning inquiries don't always happen by themselves and most of the time students are expected to meet certain standard of educational institution or government. In this case, it is the 'job' of the teachers to organise a teaching and learning plan.
It is very lucky for homeschoolers as we are free to customise our planning to meet individual needs, inquiries, and standardised expectation.
Teaching and learning is the realisation of planning. Teaching and learning can be done in groups or individually. Teaching and learning can also be teacher driven, learners driven, or both of them in a form of discussion. The ideal teaching and learning process should involve thinking skill stages as stated in Bloom Taxonomy. In homeschooling atmosphere, the homeschool philosophy of method used gives influence to the teaching and learning process. Some knowledge of homeschooling methods will be posted later.
Assessment is a tool to measure the success of learners achieving the goals or objectives. We often forget this stage. Most of the times we just leave it as long as we feel that the learners have learnt something or as long as they look enjoy the teaching and learning. Assessment can be in form of:
- Marked written test consists of questions about presented materials in the teaching and learning. This is the most common measuring tool used.
- Portfolio which compiles selected students work samples with comments. Lapbooking and notebooking can be used as children portfolio. Narration also show the depth of knowledge and presentation of students' achievement.
- Self assessment where learners assess their own achievement during the teaching and learning
- Peer assessment is assessment done by other learners.
- Performance assessment is a non written assessment performed by learners. Example: drama, stage performance, etc.
- etc
The tools used in doing assessment can be in forms of:
- grade or number or mark in another word.
- Rubric is a set of achievement qualification which is classified into groups
- oral comment
- written comment
- checklist based on the goals
- journal
We assess because:
- We need to know how deep or how far the learners have gain knowledge and skills
- We should evaluate whether the teaching and learning process have been done well. We should see which area that we need need to improve
- We eager to know what next step of learning we need to explore.
Evaluation is a step to see the whole stages of teaching and learning process sequence as a big picture. It involves a wider and deeper evaluation which is not only focused to the learners, but also the teacher, the environment, the resources, and the achievement. Evaluation can give motivation for both teacher and learners to start the next sequence better. Evaluation can be done orally or written.
Well, those sequence is theoretically done in academic environment, but it also happens naturally as learning is a journey. It does not only happen in school or institution, but it happens in whole life. As a teacher in home education, it is my duty to shape well organised learning process for the learners. They should have got it in their mind, but what happens in mind need to show up to get them love learning more than they do now.

Confirmed: new Jeep plant for Detroit
A large new Jeep assembly plant is going to be built on the current site of the Mack Avenue engine complex.
Some time ago, Allpar pioneered the story, based on inside sources. Today, it's official. FCA North America chief operating officer Mark Stewart issued a brief statement, thanking the support of the governor, state development authority, and the city of Detroit. "I am pleased to confirm that plans to invest in our Jefferson North Assembly Plant and build a new state-of-the-art assembly plant in Detroit have been given the green light."
He added, "At FCA, we are continuing to build a secure future, not only for our Company but also for the communities in which we operate. This investment enables us to deliver on this promise in the state and city we call home."
This particular area is not just part of Detroit; it's also close to the historic site of some Chrysler offices and a glitzy showroom, in what used to be a quite fashionable neighborhood. Today, though it's a good drive down straight roads from major highways, the area has several Chrysler plants in an otherwise nondescript neighborhood. That includes the two Macks, the Jefferson Avenue plant (which makes Grand Cherokees and Durangos), and the former Champion spark plug and Viper plant on Conner Avenue, as well as a small airport.
Because of the size of the new plant, FCA required land belonging to other parties, which the city has acquired. FCA's statement is the first proof that the City of Detroit has acquired all the needed land.
Once Fiat gained control of Chrysler, the company started making massive investments in the Michigan/Ohio/Ontario area, bringing parts formerly made by suppliers in Mexico and China to its own regional plants.
David Zatz founded Allpar in 1998 (based on a site he had begun in 1993-94), after years of writing reviews for retail trades. He has been quoted by the New York Times, Daily Telegraph, Detroit News, and USA Today; and he literally wrote the book on minivans.
Before making Allpar a full-time career, he was a consultant in organizational psychology, leading to his research and change and Mac statistics software sites. You can reach him by using our contact form.

Very Good 8.4 From 538 reviews
A little out of the way for a tourist but not a bad part of town. The staff were nice but it appeared poorly organized. We had to wait over an hour to be seated and served at the restaurant for breakfast...The hallway had an awful, unidentifiable smell. I don't know if it was from all of the dogs (and there were a lot) but we ran from the elevator to the room everyday because of the smell. Not goo.
A really nice hotel with a great vibe. Location is fantastic, right around the corner from 14th street restaurants and bars, 15 minutes walk to DuPont Circle. Free wine from 5:00 to 6:00 pm and people actually hanging out in the lobby doing it. Very stylish place and good food and cocktails in the bar/restaurant. Friendly staff. Quibbles - the 21 dollar "hotel fee" - cut the crap and just tell us how much the room rate really is, please! And one of the two elevators was out the final morning, which was irritating. Finally, we had a beautiful bathroom but more water pressure would have been nice (we were on the top floor, do maybe lower would have been better).
Overall - location was great...beds were not that comfortable and each morning we were awakened by hammering and construction at 730AM due to their renovations. Also we were charged $25 a day for hotel amenities yet the amenities were all closed due to the renovation of the hotel
When you pay a little more for a hotel, you expect more from the room. And the Mason & Rook more than delivered! Modern huge room, large bathroom, big TV and clean and comfortable bed. And great location. All together made for a great stay.
It's tough because the hotel was under construction when I went. Knowing that, I understood there were certain amenities that I could not enjoy but I was ok with that. I also did not realize prior to my booking that DC does not allow rooftop access during the winter season. I must admit that I would not have likely booked at that particular hotel had i known about the construction and rooftop limitations. So I had to accept that prior to checking in. Honestly, from there, I was disappointed with the service I received and even minor issues with the room. It's too long of a story to type but the blinds were broken, the light switch plate was not screwed in and one of the lamps did not work. There was also an issue with the reservation. I immediately went back down to let them know. While they were responsiv The troubling part
It is under construction so the restaurant & bar were closed. The room & location are nice.
The lobby and restaurant areas are undergoing renovation which will be finished late spring. However, other than a little extra walking due to detours the hotel was still pretty much functional.
the construction was
Great price! Very nice Hotel.
The hotel is currently under construction so there was no room service, hotel bar, etc. and I was woken up by the hammering next door. The new hotel should be done by June 1st. Other than that, the rooms were spacious and comfortable. Also the staff was lovely. Will try it again after the construction is complete.
