Excellent stay! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Will recommend to others who are looking for an apartment style apartment. The only complaint was the heating and cooling couldn't be adjusted from our room...but for the most part, it was a comfortable temperature.

The staff at the reception were really nice. The building is only capable of providing heat or AC at one time. As a result we had to use fans and keep the windows open. Beds are not comfortable and pull out not usable. Kitchen has stains everywhere and shower not great. Overall, stagnant air in the building and run down feel.

Close to National Mall

It was good. It was near the Washington Monument side of the National Mall so going to the Capital was an hour walk. It had 2 beds and a pull out couch plus a full sized kitchen. The kitchen was a little dirty and didn’t have all the necessities. Overall, we had a good experience.

Up-to-date room, very clean. Staff was great. We had first floor room, I believe maybe handicap bathroom but that made it a huge shower. It also had like a small kitchenette, which was nice.

Maybe 2.5 star hotel… not 4.

This place overstates is STARS… it is not a 4 star location… maybe 2.5 at best. The kitchen cabinets are painted plywood. All the furniture is dinged and scratched. There was literally a hole in the wall above the beat up fridge. Like maybe when the place was first remodeled it was nice, but everything being incredibly worn they need to humble themselves a bit and not claim the quality that’s not there. On a positive the linens were clean. But then only had 3 cheap towels in a room meant for up to 6. So this place has space, but not quality. When I open the blinds I was covered in dust.

Had a lovely time. They upgraded me for free so I had a huge room and it was lovely to unwind after apartment hunting all day. I'd happily stay there again.

This place is a joke. The rooms are gross and dated. The pictures they show are not what the rooms really look like. Way smaller and dirtier. There is no maid service except every 7 days. Unless you want to pay 125 bucks! They are mad when you ask for a towel because they only give you 2. They get mad when you ask for anything. Rude staff. Then they scam You and charge 500 bucks for smoking even though you didn’t. The rooms are gross and toilets are dirty. Carpet smells like dog sh… Place is crazy expensive for a dump. No food or bar just an awkward weird dirty place that scams you!

Efficiency Hotel

This hotel is an efficient type. It has s full kitchen and very spacious for an extended stay or contract worker. House keeping is once a week. The HVAC system only runs one setting based on the season ( hot in winter and cold in summer) you can only control it by turning the system thermostat on or off. Thats was the only weird thing I experienced.
