Booked this as it was an easy walk from Union Station. It wasn't until check in I realized how noisy it was going to be. Room was fine. Floor in the room was like vinyl / engineered flooring not carpet. It was sticky. Not a great feeling. As far as the noise we literally stayed in Times Square NYC the previous three nights and there was less noise.

Nice Hotel With Old School Charm

The hotel itself and the staff are great. It's an older building but well-kept, and there's obvious pride in ownership. It's in a nice, safe and walkable area of D.C. as well. The room itself was nice and simple. The bed was comfortable and had a nice assortment of pillows. The bathroom, although a little small (by U.S. standards) worked. There were several little touches that definitely made up for the lack of room. I had requested a quiet room away from the street. They were nice enough to put me on the 8th floor... but it was right next to the maid's quarters. That made for a built-in alarm by 8a each morning. The only think I'm not a fan of is the daily $32 'facility fee'. Even if booking through a third-party site like Hotels.com, this is an extra fee collected on-site, honestly making the Hotels.com 'all-in' pricing untrue. This isn't Vegas, Miami or Maui... it's not a resort, it's a historical building in D.C. Is it nice having a couple of fully automated coffee machines 24-hours a day? Sure, if you're a coffee drinker. But I'm not. Even the most devout Starbucks fanboy would have a hard time consuming $32 worth of free espressos a day. If you need to charge more for staff and k-cups, bake it into the daily room cost. There just weren't enough real perks (beyond those most decent hotels have like a business center, gym, etc.) to warrant such a random surcharge. Also note, the daily parking fee is $64. For those not using mass transit or rideshare.

Fantastic Stay!

Perfect location, phenomenal service, super comfortable, and super clean. They really know what they’re doing. Everything is so thought out. A great example, they have earplugs available in the bathroom because after all the streets of DC can get loud. An umbrella for those rainy days. And not to mention a super comfy robe for the in-between.

I liked the hotel's location and the quaintness of the hotel. I even like the coffee area. I also thought those at the front desk, especially Darren, demonstrated the highest form of guest services. Everyone at the front desk was very professional and friendly. Bathrooms need a little updating.
