Hotel is located in a depressed part of Washington DC. That can be seen as soon as one gets to the hotel. Reception area is not inviting - receptionist almost closed out behind a glass window. Corridor dirty. Insufficient elevators if one has heavy suitcase going up the stairs is a challenge. Overall a poor facility; other than the affordable cost.
