Close to National Mall
It was good. It was near the Washington Monument side of the National Mall so going to the Capital was an hour walk. It had 2 beds and a pull out couch plus a full sized kitchen. The kitchen was a little dirty and didn’t have all the necessities. Overall, we had a good experience.
Up-to-date room, very clean. Staff was great. We had first floor room, I believe maybe handicap bathroom but that made it a huge shower. It also had like a small kitchenette, which was nice.
Every one was amazing, excellent customer service.
People are happy to work here and it shows.

Maybe 2.5 star hotel… not 4.
This place overstates is STARS… it is not a 4 star location… maybe 2.5 at best. The kitchen cabinets are painted plywood. All the furniture is dinged and scratched. There was literally a hole in the wall above the beat up fridge. Like maybe when the place was first remodeled it was nice, but everything being incredibly worn they need to humble themselves a bit and not claim the quality that’s not there. On a positive the linens were clean. But then only had 3 cheap towels in a room meant for up to 6. So this place has space, but not quality. When I open the blinds I was covered in dust.

Had a lovely time. They upgraded me for free so I had a huge room and it was lovely to unwind after apartment hunting all day. I'd happily stay there again.
This place is a joke. The rooms are gross and dated. The pictures they show are not what the rooms really look like. Way smaller and dirtier. There is no maid service except every 7 days. Unless you want to pay 125 bucks! They are mad when you ask for a towel because they only give you 2. They get mad when you ask for anything. Rude staff. Then they scam
You and charge 500 bucks for smoking even though you didn’t. The rooms are gross and toilets are dirty. Carpet smells like dog sh… Place is crazy expensive for a dump. No food or bar just an awkward weird dirty place that scams you!
This hotel is an efficient type. It has s full kitchen and very spacious for an extended stay or contract worker. House keeping is once a week. The HVAC system only runs one setting based on the season ( hot in winter and cold in summer) you can only control it by turning the system thermostat on or off. Thats
was the only weird thing I experienced.
The staff was great. It is in a great location to get everywhere in DC via metro or bus if you don't want to walk. The place is older, but has everything ypu need for a nice stay.

We had an excellent stay for the weekend. We had two adjoining rooms which was the perfect set up for our family getaway. The property was very nice and all of the staff were friendly and wonderful!
The room was clean, more than spacious enough for me and my 3 friends, and we were able to find parking directly in the side of the hotel enabling us to see our car from our window. Not to mention the view was nice as well. The only downfall to me was that the ice and vending machine were in the basement.
We loved staying here. Front staff is very responsive via text moreso than phone call. However they do respond quickly. There is a charge to check in before 3:30 but we preferred to just get inside. The room was large and clean. They were very helpful with our service animal. We would stay again any time.
