This hotel is in a very convenient place to visit all the Washington highlights. It a historic building that has undergone a number of renovations. It has some of its Victorian Charm with some 1980's paneling and nice updates. The bathroom had an 8 spray shower that was amazing and lots of room. The bed was comfy and the staff was super helpful. It has a small lobby but is great for reasonable, clean and central place in DC

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.
