Good value for the location

The location is very convenient to explore the city. The view from the room is also another big plus.

The hotel offers very limited facilities. There is no breakfast served in the morning, there's no laundry facility. The room is really small for two people. After you open the two suitcases, there's almost no space to walk around.

Good price. Suitable for non-business trips.

This hotel is in a walking distance to the White house and several other attractions. Although the whole building and facilities are old, they are kept quite clean. The room I stayed is quiet, and hence I slept really well during my stays. In addition, its price was competitive, which renders the hotel a valuable choice despite the weakness aspect stated below.

First, the Wi-Fi connectivity is sometimes unsatisfactory. For example, I had an online meeting to attend but the poor Wi-Fi connectivity resulted in lossy voices and frozen camera images. Second, the water for shower takes a long time (perhaps around 1 minute) to become warm and it flows too small. Third, there is not enough in-room lighting, in particular there is no lighting on the office table. Last, there are something that I anticipated to have but unfortunately not provided by the hotel: slipper, toothbrush and toothpaste, and electrical kettle.

Good price, Good location.

The location of this hotel is excellent. Very close to The Hamilton Live music venue. The hotel room was small but it had a large bathroom. All of the lines were very clean.

The hotel was a bit eerie. The bed in our room was horrible. There was a sag in the mattress. The pillows were the flattest I've ever seen.

Washington DC aus bester Lage erkundbar

Die Lage ist perfekt um in kurzer Zeit die wichtigsten Touri Spots zu erkunden. In ca 5 min erreicht man das weiße Haus fußläufig, eine Metro Station an der alle Hauptrouten (u.a Silver Line vom Flughafen) halten ist ebenfalls in ca. 2 min erreichbar. Wir hatten nur einen vollen Tag in Washington DC. Mit der top Lage ist das Programm machbar. Zimmer ist in die Jahre gekommen, jedoch sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet. Das Bad fällt ausreichend groß aus. Im Bett haben wir sehr gut geschlafen. Für uns war das Hotel perfekt, da die Lage entscheidend war. Würden wir jederzeit wieder buchen.

Man hört die Straße durch die alten Fenster. Bei der top Lage kann man aber nicht erwarten dass es komplett ruhig ist.

Very good stay for tourism

Excellent location in the downtown to visit the main pints of interest. Perfect for tourism and going to the hotel just to sleep. Room very clean and bathroom is quite good.

The hotel is old without restaurant or bar. The room was rather small. There are some stairs to the reception desk and elevators, and the luggage should be handled manually without any help

wonderful place.

it was lovely! affordable for its location (close to white house). old building, well preserved. Shin, the receptionist, was very helpful, respectful, always smiling. she was awesome. bathroom was spacious. love the shower head!

noise. i was placed close to the elevator and beside the main streets. i could hear every ding of the elevator and noise from the street. the shutters couldnt hide the light from outside. no curtain to cover the windows. im used to a very quiet very dark bedroom, so i have to buy ear plugs and wear eye cover- i got to sleep. also, one switch for the bathroom lights and the fan vent. fan vent was loud. very annoying. i dont need the fan vent everytime i use the bathroom. please separate the vent and light switch.

The room was nice and the location was great, but we wish it had better pillows.

The location of this property for the price is hard to beat we were just a couple blocks from bus stations and a metro station. The White House was just down the road along with Ford’s Theater and Old Ebbitt Grill. Everything was clean.

The bed was not the most comfortable one we have ever slept in and the pillows were very flat. The hallways had an overwhelming amount of wallflowers that made it hard to breathe.

Would never go again

The location

The smell of weed everywhere, staff was unbothered talking to friends while talking to us, the rooms walls were so thin I could hear neighbors plug in their chargers, ac was not very strong while still making loud noises, the room was a small shoe box, the elevator rattled and could fall apart any second, the bed sheets smelt old, and the window were broken while the view was a brick wall.

Prime downtown DC location but dated facility

Historic building close to White House and adjacent areas. Rooms had been renovated. Great location for sightseeing. No food services but adjacent places to eat.

No choice in room assignment. I was given handicapped accessible room with large bathroom (not needed). No carpets on floor so had to be careful not to slip when wet. No view except a brick wall so no light. For the price would expect some more facilities.

Great location

The location of the hotel was really good. It was possible to walk from it to see most of the tourist attractions within less than a 30 min walk. The Whitehouse was only 10 mins away on foot. The hotel had character and the bed was comfy. It is close to a bar and breakfast place which was handy

Parking is an issue. When we arrived we were extremely lucky to find a spot very close to the hotel with a 1hr limit - so enough to unload and check in. As we left on a Sunday, it was also available and free this time. We had to find a car park within a 5 min walk to leave the car during our stay. Parking is not cheap - approx 35 dollars per day. The hotel provides no breakfast nor any coffee making facilities in the room. The room was not big but it didn't feel overly small either.

Good but pricy for what you get

The room was clean if small. That is why I considered the room overpriced The common areas were nice. The staff seemed pleasant. The location was great

The room had a lot of street noise. It is hard place to sleep in at. The bathroom fan sounded like a helicopter. The elevators are very old. Probably from the 1960's or earlier.

Older property, clean, comfortable, but poor staff.

I was there for only one night. The room was clean and comfortable, furnishing a little old, but maintained. The bathroom appeared to be recently renovated and was large compared to the room itself. It is an older property, but comfortable.

There were several issues with the room. The window unit AC was loud, and the remote did not seem to have any effect. The TV constantly dropped the signal. The fan in the bathroom sounded like a freight train. I did not complain, as these were only inconveniences, but did alert the staff upon checking out, they were not in the least interested.
