Sources need to be fixed here. Google Maps, Google+, several travel sites that have a monetary investment in providing you with hotel bookings... The sourcing is just not reliable enough. The thing article has POV issues as it reads like an advert. Article doesn't make clear what notability is because it doesn't use any sources that would establish notability. Quoting the hotel's Google+ account to describe the hotel's awesomeness? --LauraHale (talk) 12:22, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Quoting from the owner of the hotel is an extra. It's got enough coverage, I'll add some more sources. I'd say that it does not read like an advert, it reads the points. ⇒TAP 12:27, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

- Can you please improve it some more with sources that make notability crystal clear, and remove http://www.fodors.com/world/north-america/usa/district-of-columbia/washington-dc/review-578605.html and http://www.hrs.com/uk/booking/en/usa/washington-district-of-columbia/st-gregory-luxury-hotel-77153.html as they do not appear reliable to me, as they look like hotel booking sites. --LauraHale (talk) 13:41, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Where does it say how many blocks it is? --LauraHale (talk) 13:41, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- WP:NOTTRAVEL appears to be a problem with this article. It reads like those hotel booking pages, minus the flowery language. --LauraHale (talk) 13:41, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
I've given it an edit and added some better sources and info. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:58, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for assisting Thine Antique Pen. The article really feels like it has some POV issues to it that makes it read like an advertisement. If this was an article about a sportperson, comparables would be citing sources that say "Since moving up from the reserve squad for Manchester United, his performance has been fantastic and his style of play has been fluid, free-flowing, fast-paced while containing all the characteristics that make Brazilian football fantastic to watch." It isn't particularly neutral. There are still problematic un-reliable sources. The Google Maps sourcing still bothers me because I cannot see that from the source. Plus, it is still completely unclear why this hotel is notable. It doesn't appear to pass WP:ORGANIZATIONS. --LauraHale (talk) 21:40, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
