The property was uniquely designed, which I liked. Everyone I interacted with at the front desk was helpful and nice. The lobby area, elevators, halls, and my room were all cleaned very nicely. The property is very centrally located, with a Metro stop only a block away. I would definitely stay here again if I ever come back to DC!

We loved the charm of the building and the convenience of walking to all of the capital buildings. Bonus was that the Metro was a block away.

Great location!
This hotel is located in the heart of downtown DC with easy access to the metro. I thought the room was a bit tired and small but for the price—it could not be beat

Fairly priced stay in Washington. Property was in close proximity to the metro line which is helpful. Somewhat dated fittings but everything is very clean and well presented.

Liked: Amenities
The Hotel is good for what it is- a place to stay and in a decent location. It is pretty bare bones with no accessories besides the room. The room was sort of Euro in its size and amenities. It has all you need and it was clean and easy to deal with.

This is an old building that is in a nice area. The lobby smells weird and the carpet is out of date but it is a good price and fine if you don't plan on hanging out in the hotel a lot. You can easily walk to the white house and there are restaurants around. It feels like a safe area as well.
