Great location in downtown DC. Nice and historic - it is made from 3 1880's row houses and converted to a hotel. It has a very nice upscale restaurant, which seems quite popular with the locals.

The hotel is funky and eccentric in a good way. There are winding stairways, wonderful art, very unique hotel. The restaurant was stellar. The funky part was that there was no hot water in the evening, but it was back in the morning. In another hotel, it would have been a deal breaker, but here it we chalked it up to its eccentric nature. I would recommend staying here.

It was a lovely stay! A little concerning the amount of rats outside the hotel but I understand D.C. has a rat infestation at the moment. The hotel was exquisite…the room divine…the location ideal….the staff top notch. Just one lil funny thing….no door on the bathroom? What’s that about? 😆 thank you for all

The antithesis of a boxy chain hotel. Unique rooms, eclectic decor. Affordable, safe, friendly and centrally located. Not for everyone: no TVs, no elevator. Noisy neighborhood at times with middle of the night car alarms repeatedly set off. Food is excellent with a great bar and Victorian lounge.

I loved it. Is it a bit shopworn, and maybe in need of some paint and places? Probably. But that’s also part of its charm. You also won’t find a television in your room, and power sockets are premium! But you’ll also feel like you’re staying in an Agatha Christie novel. My room was room seven, with tall windows overlooking the street, a fireplace (no, it didn’t work, but it was great ambience), two beds, a lounge, multiple chairs, and a drop top desk in front of the window, where I did some work, and felt like very much like a character from the Great Gatsby. The dining room is top-notch, with a terrific bar—and be sure to order the Tabard donut. Finally, it’s in a terrific location, easily accessible by the Dupont Metro, and within walking distance of a number of great restaurants. Stay here. You’re gonna love it.

They say paid parking is $26.00 but it is actually $30.68 because they have a 15% surcharge on credit cards. They were not helpful when I requested early check in…said a room was available but wanted to charge me $25.00 (not including the surcharge). The cheapest rooms have a shared bathroom down the hall. They offered to upgrade to a room with a bathroom but said it would be $100.00 extra. I said no, then they offered a room with a bathroom for $35.00 extra. Actually came out to $38.50 with their surcharge. No hot water when I took a shower the nite we checked. At breakfast I gave our server a $10.00 off coupon from the front desk. From that point on he was rude. Did not see him again until he dropped the bill off. We tipped 20% in cash on the total before the reduced amount. No thank you or anything. Just more rude service and asked if we had the coupon that I gave him at the beginning of the meal. The restaurant was the best part of the stay but the quality of food and staff was better at dinner compared to breakfast the next morning. The location is great for seeing sites in DC with a quick car ride. Probably would not stay a second time though. Rooms are a bit beat up and could use some remodeling. I did not appreciate the extra fees and them trying to get more money out of me again and again.
