Location is great

The hotel staff was friendly and the room was clean. The room/hotel wasn’t out of this world fancy, but the location at this price point were hard to beat. The location was perfect to visit to the Smithsonian museums and monuments. A Starbucks with a friendly staff is connected, which was convenient on rainy mornings. The parking garage is a public garage attached to the hotel, but we were able to purchase parking through the hotel. It was nice to park our own car and have in and out privileges. The tv in the room was very old fashioned (had to flip channels like the 2000’s), but we didn’t go to DC for a tv!

House keeping unlocked my room door at 7:30pm at night my despite my do not disturb sign on the door. I heard a very loud voice over an intercom demanding for the housekeeper to unlocked the room door. I had to jump off my bed and push the door closed because I wasn’t dressed properly, it’s 7:30pm at night. Do not disturb is hung on the door yet The person on the radio was yelling. at the male house keeper over the radio “just open the door” even after he advised her over the radio that the door had a sign on it “do not disturb”. It was a very traumatizing experience, I could have hurt myself because I had to jump off the bed and literally sprint and push the door backwards and yell “someone is in here”. Why is house keeping coming to a room 7:30pm at night in addition the do not disturb was hung outside the door??? All night you hear keys like Santa clause slay up and down the hallway because they are cleaning rooms all hour of the night. I called downstairs to report it and was yelled at by the rep. He apologized the following day. . Room one was over looking a train track in the back in close proximity. Rocm two was near the courtyard and smelled like sewage or a leaked toilet as soon as you opened the door. Room 3; I was just happy to lay my head down vs being homeless.

Mehh

The beds were absolutely hard as a rock and resulted in a night of tossing and turning even after walking over 10 miles. Also you will be nickel and dime staying there since breakfast isn’t included and you pay for parking as well. Also there was some kind of sticky substance in the carpet

Great location, centrally located to museum sites! I felt safe walking around. Hotel is only 5 minutes walking to/from the Metro stop, 15 minutes driving from Regan Airport and 20 minutes walking distance to the National Mall. Plenty of food trucks, Starbucks, pizza, deli shop and Mcdonald's on the same block as the hotel. Wonderful customer service by the hotel staff and the hotel's restaurant servers. I only had a salad and it was good and price was reasonable. The hotel room was neat and clean but needs updating which is probably why the cost was so reasonable. The bed was a little too firm for me but probably wonderful for some. Overall, I enjoyed my 3 day stay.
