The front desk held $445 on my account even though my room was paid in full before I got there. This hold was for three days, then after they fixed that they held $100 for incidentals. When I got there the front desk girl told me there would be no hold, they just needed my card on file as protocol for damages. I checked out today and the rep could not fix my account, she told me to wait for tomorrow……Very poor customer service… do not recommend. The room was ok, the area sketchy….

It wasn't great. But there weren't any bed bugs, so that was good. I've stayed in worse places. At least we weren't murdered and no-one broke into our car.

The hotel was beautiful and well-maintained, and most of the staff were friendly and helpful. However, upon arrival, we encountered an unexpected $700 charge on our card despite having already paid in full. A few days into our stay, we were charged an additional $300 with no explanation. When we inquired at the front desk, they were unable to provide any information. Another traveler in our group also faced an unexplained charge of over $300. While we were assured that these charges would eventually be reversed—and most of them were—the experience caused unnecessary stress and put a damper on our trip. The manager, however, was incredibly helpful throughout the ordeal and truly salvaged our stay.

All in all it was a nice hotel with fairly friendly staff, there is no shuttle service as is advertised on their website. Fair walk to downtown, which is fine, I wanted to see everything I could, including the surrounding areas. The area looked a little run down and could be perceived as unsafe, but I had no problems with anyone, everyone I talked to was quite nice. All in all it was a nice trip, but due to the amount of walking, I never did make it down for the breakfast. Would stay here again.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had a complementary continental breakfast with a variety of options. The hotel itself is nice, but you can tell it is older and needs updating. The owner, or company, has patched things instead of replacing with new. It was quiet at night, except for the garbage man who came at 4:45 am to empty the dumpster one morning. The hot water heaters kept going out, and the general manager kept calling for service and maintenance. She was accommodating so that we could take hot showers. The hotel is located about 3.5-4 miles outside of downtown DC, so we had to take a Lift or Uber, there is no shuttle. The rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. All the issues were things the staff had no control over and did the best they could to keep us happy. The surrounding neighborhood wasn't the nicest, but I felt safe enough to stay for the whole week. It was a good hotel for being on a budget.

Where to start? I got into Dc early so we walked around for hours checking out a museum and trying to see the sights. When I got there at 3 hoping for an early check in (at 3 pm) I was told they couldn’t see my reservation. Through a long chat message and 3 calls to the staff it was resolved but I woke up to the hotel trying to charge my card for what was a prepaid stay. There was another chat and another call to the hotel and it was again resolved. It was frustrating but things happen and in the end customer service on both ends resolved the situation. I was inconvenienced and no one wants that but…. Thanks to the hotel staff Wanda and Angela who were calming presences in my momentary crisis’.

I had the worst experience ever. When I got to the hotel I had to pay 100 dollars deposit plus 70 dollars for parking, the deposit is normal in some places but the parking not, but any way this wasn't the bad part. The bad experience was when they charge me 1700 instead the 170. I spent 3 days to figured out this. Front desk was telling me that they were charging me for the whole package that I already pay for.
