Amazing location and cleanliness for the price! The building is nice and the staff is super friendly. The only things that would make it better would be a better working AC and better water pressure, but still 100% worth it for the price.

Great trip

The rooms are nice and clean, the staff was absolutely amazing, energetic, and helpful if we needed anything. The tub was very slippery, with no grips on the surface.

Really had a wonderful stay. The location is great, very close walking distance to the Metrorail stations and bus stops and very close to where everything is going on. Lots of great restaurants a short bus ride away and very close to the major sightseeing spots. Would definitely stay again.

Would not stay here again. It is an old building that is showing its age. Bed was not comfortable, saw bugs in the room shortly after I arrived.

Love this old style hotel! Great location and very clean. The staff is very helpful and friendly here. Nice Community area with an electric fireplace and fresh coffee and tea daily. This is the best deal in town while in DC.

The hotel and price were great, the front desk staff were some nice, some just not nice. Every time I came in the hotel it smelled like pot, and one day the fire alarm turned on, I wonder why?…

Check-in process involved the receptionist going up to the room to make sure it was clean first because their staff had not updated the system. Hotel is old and dark.

The hotel is relatively small and dated, but it is still a great place to stay. I would have no issues returning. It is a few blocks just north of the White House, close to many interesting sites.

Pros: Pretty affordable for downtown DC Beautiful building and rooms Cons: You will hear the elevator ding every single time it does. You will hear everything that happens in the hallway. Our toilet didn't flush, we told the front desk, they said they would fix it or switch our rooms, they did neither (we were only staying for one night) No hand soap. The pillows are very hard. All the other amenities are fine.
