room was dusty. asked if a different room could be accommodated as my husband’s allergies started flaring up, was told there would be a housekeeping fee added to our reservation since we “used” the room. We’ve been to Nell 10+ times in the last year and this was the first situation that we encountered.

We really enjoyed staying in this hotel and we’re here for four nights in September It is a converted industrial building which brings great charm and character to the property As a European I found the room sizes on a par with many I have stayed in around Europe , although I appreciate they are on the small size when compared to the typical American chain hotel The staff were very helpful and polite and that are two restaurants on site and lots of options within walking distance We found it a very good base to explore DC

A really cool, unique hotel. Everything was clean and updated and the vibe was just really chill. The rooftop bar was a great spot and well-priced. Union Market is a block or two away and has so many great spots to eat, drink, and entertain yourself. Will definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I am very familiar with, and wanted to stay in, the Union Market area, and I am used to the quirks of boutique hotels, but I feel I was misled by other reviews. I upgraded in advance to their nicest room and it felt dirty, kind of creepy, and half-finished. The furnishings were bare, cheap, or extremely worn; the rugs were all sitting on bare floor and pulling up at the corners; the bedding was pilling; there was no toilet lid; and all the light bulbs were some kind of cheap purplish LED. My room was also loud and facing a busy street, but that isn't really within their control and wasn't a dealbreaker. After seeing the room I immediately left and went to another hotel despite not being eligible for a refund.

Stayed for a few nights, very friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant is really great and convenient, and the rooftop bar has a nice view and vibe. They gave us coupons for drinks at the restaurant and bar which was really nice. The room sizes are bit small but clean and comfortable enough. It is right by the main road and the walls are very thin so we could hear everything which was the only frustration. It’s a nice distance to the centre and really cool aesthetic.
