No coffee maker, refrigerator in rooms. Mattresses are noisy, and one working elevator that stops on floors nobodies at or door closes and then opens back up on your same floor, oh and coffee in lobby taste like it’s 3 days old! Oh and toilet seat and water delivery in back broke. Do not stay!

Nice, clean, quiet, convenient. No frills but if you are spending a lot of time walking in DC all you need is a good bed and our room met that need.
