This is a great hotel. however, if you are coming to DC for the national museums, be aware that it is not close to the National Mall. There is a Metro bus stop close to the hotel and the the Metro system is very reliable. Just be aware that you will spend a significant amount of time traveling to and from this hotel to your destination.

This place is run down and everything is very cheap. Cheap sheets, nasty processed foods for the breakfast. The tub was of questionable cleanliness. Avoid

Stay was ok, but definitely room for improvement. Our sink drain was very slow. I notified a man at the front desk. Nothing was done. We had issues with our room key not working and had to make 3 trips down for another one. The floors were kinda sticky. A very dark brown, so hard to see, but felt dirty. The sheets under the fitted sheets were dirty. The shower had weird large sticker over the tiles. one reason I chose the location was for the free breakfast. It was lacking in variety and taste and quality. We had a three nights stay and they ran out of cream cheese on our first morning there. Never got any more for the bagels. The water for hot tea was only lukewarm. The beds were pretty comfy, and staff was ok, but I probably will not stay here again. Oh, it was very loud as well. Older windows that let noise in.

Good stay, scary check-in

Room was clean and workable. Checking in was a nightmare. First room given was already occupied and I walked in on a couple. Second room was not what I’d reserved. About 45 minutes into arriving at the hotel, I got my room. Scary how they don’t know what rooms are occupied or king/double queen. Certainly worried about security of the joint when they give me keys to an occupied room.

Though I was able to check in successfully and the hotel was clean and staff friendly enough. For whatever reason there were several additional attempts at charging my card. So I more than likely won’t stay here again

Location wasn't great. All the main roads around there don't allow left turns so it takes 15 minutes to go around the block. However, the staff were super friendly and helpful with local information. I want to make a special mention of Sean, who managed the breakfast. It's rare these days to encounter someone who takes pride in their work, especially with something like food service. Sean never stopped moving, making sure patrons followed hygiene practices, ensuring everything was fully stocked, greeting everyone warmly. If I had a restaurant or customer service job to offer, I would have! Hope management takes notice of this.

There are roaches in this hotel. They changed my room but I’m concern it’s an infestation.
