It is no frills but is very, very clean. Close to a lot of food options. If you are not looking for a resort feel (free breakfast, coffee, etc.), this is the hotel for you!

Bedbugs. What else matters? The properties photos are decades old. Lobby furniture looks dusty, dirty. 2 person creaky elevator. Sheets.... mottled cream, I think they might have been white 6 yrs ago. Clearly stained. I had to change rooms due to hair dryer blew up. Blue electrical sparks, burned red hot orange, smoked, suddenly made metal grinding sound. Was barely able to unplug. 2nd room had bedbugs. Covered my body. Disgusting.Itching all over, even scalp. Exposed plumbing pipes in wall/floor.bedside lamp flickered, indicates an electrical short. This a dirty, health hazzard, firehazard dump.Bedbugs. What else matters?

Great for the price. Staff was very friendly and the room was as expected and clean. Very convenient location. The ONLY reason it doesn’t get the full 5 stars is the pillows are not comfortable.

Conveniently located, nice.

Conveniently located next to a metro stop and near the National Mall. The room was small, but had everything we needed. Hotel was clean and area safe. Would stay at the hotel again.
