I can honestly say this is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. Some staff were polite and respectful and some were not!
The mattress had a plastic cover which makes for a sweaty sleep along with the noise outside which is loud and intrusive at night. My complaint regarding “lost” belongings in the hotel was handled poorly and it was suggested by a female staff member that “ I was not telling the truth and they didn’t know what to believe”. This was completely unprofessional and unsympathetic conduct. I was also informed that their security cameras were “ not visible” whatever that means. The room was very clean but stuffy. I would not recommend this hotel for more than a night if at all but I guess you get what you pay for.
This is a cool older hotel. It has some quirks, but lots of charm. One issue in the 7th floor bathroom: There's not a separate light from the noisy fan. It makes it difficult to listen to the TV news while you're getting ready in the morning. Small things. But the location is superb in downtown Washington. They also could use some complimentary coffee downstairs.
The room was small but livable and looked clean. The air quality was unbearable with the deodorizer. (Fabreeze or similar) We were in the room for less than an hour and left. It was midnight and didn't feel like arguing and just left. As some of the other comments suggested and I didn't believe it, to check in, you had to interrupt the front desk person who was outside getting high.
First of all let me say that for the price this is the best place to stay. The rooms are small it is a older hotel but the architecture and the location are absolutely fantastic. The dining around the area is wonderful transportation by Metro is fantastic had no problems whatsoever. Will definitely stay again.
A great place to stay, fare prices, considering the area. You can explore the tourists buildings and the
night life by walking. Very clean space. Nice shower, but the bathroom exhaust fan was really loud and it couldn't be turn off if lights were on. The corredor had a exagherate smell of air freshner.
Great and cozy in an older setting. Comfortable rooms with just the right size, and very clean and comfy for quick stays. The concierge team was invaluable and polite, and the location is near the city center, within walking distance of the Metro.
A very quaint and secluded place within walking distance of plenty of places to eat and sightsee. The room was clean no issue at all very comforting bed. The only issue about the room is the watering system will make it weird noise when you turn the shower on, but besides that a real great place. Also with it being DC of course parking will be an issue
