The hotel is pretty basic, but in a walkable area. Amenities weren’t the greatest. WiFi wouldn’t connect and the toilet pressure was low. But it’s fine for the price and location.

We had a mostly great stay. My only complaint about the hotel is there was no coffee available at 745am and I was told it would be at least 30 minute wait before there was. We were trying to get up and out and this caused us to have to track down a nearby place in the rain. The closest we found open was several blocks away. Please consider updating the coffee area even if its just an instant option. The other big issue that isn't necessarily the hotels fault, our neighbor in room 702 last night screamed, cried, cussed and threatened to blow people's heads off for over 2 hours. She was clearly having an mental episode. I had to reach out multiple times to the front desk. My daughter was terrified and it kept us up past 10pm as we shared a wall with her. But you cant choose your neighbors. The front desk was helpful in deescalating the ordeal. Otherwise I was very happy with our stay. The price, location, cleanliness and staff were all wonderful. We will definitely stay again!

The fan in the bathroom was connected to the light and was so incredibly loud - it was super disturbing whenever you had to use the bathroom, including while getting ready. The shower is an overhead showerhead which if you don’t want to get your hair wet is a disaster. There’s no avoiding it. Also, the toilet clogged without using much TP. The heater in the room blows on and off every minute or so which is hard to sleep with but required in the middle of winter. Also, the ice machine is in the basement and the operator option on the phone didn’t work so we had to go down to the lobby anytime we had a question. There is hardly anything to eat in the area which is a bit inconvenient. Not a bad space, just not ideal for me.

I would rate my stay a 3.5. First, the cost to stay in downtown DC was unbeatable. The staff was wonderful, the hotel and especially the room was CLEAN - like I was very happy with the cleanliness, the rooms were a good size, and there was always coffee, tea, and water in the lobby. The hotel is a historic building, so it's both old and cool. One must know that this is not a modern hotel. My concerns with with my hot water and the noise from the window unit. I would still recommend this hotel and hopefully, someone wouldn't expect high-end amenities at a lower price point.

From the moment I checked in, everything was terrific! Love our kind attendant, asked her questions about the area, and she was humble, kind, and knowledgeable. The room was clean, and they were great with upkeep. Hard to find good parking and don't expect a view—but the location is perfect! Main critique: Rooms don't have mini-fridges or microwaves. Deal breaker in the future.
