We had a lovely stay at Hewing, and the staff was spectacular, friendly, and accommodating. The beds were comfy. If you stay on a weekend and are a particularly light sleeper, you may want to request a room in the back as the front of the hotel facing Washington has traffic noise until fairly late. That said, Hewing is operated by a group called "Aparium", and Aparium has instructed Hewing to charge every guest an additional "CC Recovery Fee." I was covering room+tax for several guests. When I reviewed the folios at check-out, the very bottom line of each summary had this CC Recovery Fee. When I asked, the front deck informed me that Aparium had instructed the hotel to add this credit card recovery fee to every invoice. When I asked if I could pay in cash, I was informed that it was not possible. So - Hewing (Aparium) is going to boost your bill by 3% for the privilege of using your credit card and disallow you from paying in cash. Copies of the five (5) invoices with the fee are shown below. Buyer beware!
