Looked pretty on ground floor. Hotel clerk that checked us in was nice. Manager and rest of staff rude. Got to our room which was newer and looked nice but the beds were unmade and sheets everywhere. They changed our room to an older more run down room. Kitchen dirty and bathroom dirty. People in our family did not want to take showers because of how room looked. TV did not work and they claimed it was because of a storm - yet the internet worked. Other people had issues and they were afraid to say something because of how we were treated (they witnessed one of the interactions regarding the room). They comped parking but should have comped everything. We were afraid to walk around room without shoes on. had lots of bed bug bites as well. Will share photos with expedia directly.

The hotel was in an excellent location on the edge of Georgetown. We walked to dinner nightly and to the Foggy Bottom metro station to get to all the attractions. Georgetown shopping was just over the bridge and easily walkable. The expedia app says that parking is avaliable on site, which is correct, but it is EXTREMELY limited and costs $42 a day. Someone at the desk suggested that I use the Spothero app to reserve a parking spot close to the hotel and I was able to reserve a spot close by for cheaper than the hotel was charging. I felt more confident driving into town knowing that I had a reserved parking spot and wouldn't have to drive around and park on the street.

We did not arrive to a clean, modern, boutique hotel as indicated on the photos. The room was rundown and in need of renovations. There was a musty smell and the furniture was old and dilapidated.

Not a happy place. I stayed for 4 nights in April and it was very hot in Washington. There was no air conditioning for the first two nights which made my stay very uncomfortable. The staff blamed this on the local authorities but other nearby hotels had A/C. I asked to be allowed to check out at 1 pm on my last day instead of 11 am. The staff refused and charged my card for an extra night even though I did check out at 1 pm and was told that I would be assessed $100. An altogether tough experience. Unlikely to come back or recommend the place to others.

The rooms were filthy- stains everywhere and on everything. I had to wash all kitchenware before use because it was so dirty. I was going to run a load of dishes before I checked out, but the dishwasher was full of stank, stale water. There were stains on everything in this room. Additionally, I went down to the front desk to ask to extend my checkout from 11 am until 1pm for late check out. She told me they wouldn’t be able to do that, and that they could only extend it for “an hour.” I was happy with that, and expected to pay the $50 late fee. I was then met at my room by two different people 15 minutes apart. The woman who I spoke to at the front desk told me she said “11:30,” which is simply not true. She said “an hour.” So they basically kicked me out of the room after promising it to me for an extra hour. On the plus side, they didn’t charge me their egregious rate of $50/hour (that I know of yet), and the location is great. Located right near metro stations, cafes, food, dupont circle, and georgetown. Definitely a great area to stay in, but not a great hotel.

Pros: The staff was amazing and very friendly!! They were always more than happy to help and said hello and welcome back everytime we walked in or left. They had laundry we could use with free detergent and free dryer sheets. They held our luggage after checkout while we toured the city some more. Plus I like that there was no daily housemaid service as I prefer no one come in my room. If you needed towels or anything they were more than happy to get you whatever you needed.
