Good location, coffee shop in site is good. rooms are small and a bit crowed. The showers are in different floor so you have to take the elevators two or three floor to shower, it is not convenient at all!.
Its ok to say for one day but not very comfortable more than that.
I got there late and was tired I tried to get checked in and no one was available fell asleep in the couch woke up hour later and was so tired I fell asleep in the basement where finally they thought I was trespassing and came and saw I had a reservation and finally checked me in my room 4 hours after I arrived at front desk
Wish every pod had a/c but overall it’s a really good deal

Over all was a nice place, but the restroom area is literally infront of the front desk, where everyone can hear you, the showers are dirty and public and the noise inside the building is a lot, I end up paying another hotel.
I was rather surprised with the layout of the room and the space in general. The cafe in the lobby was particularly nice. I'd stay here again when I'm in D.C.
