The property was uniquely designed, which I liked. Everyone I interacted with at the front desk was helpful and nice. The lobby area, elevators, halls, and my room were all cleaned very nicely. The property is very centrally located, with a Metro stop only a block away. I would definitely stay here again if I ever come back to DC!

I arrived at 2am with my wife, exhausted feom a long day and long road trip. The check-in process was made chaotic after the front desk agent deliberately denied my reservation, claim that i did not have one, then claiming l was suppose to check-in before midnight, then claiming theirs nothing he can do, then i notice this giys eyes are red so he pretty much out of his mind and would like me to go with him, so i just called the cops to prepare a report of theft, when then all of a sudden has my reservation after an hour of jerking me around. Overall terrible front deak agent.

The Hotel is good for what it is- a place to stay and in a decent location. It is pretty bare bones with no accessories besides the room. The room was sort of Euro in its size and amenities. It has all you need and it was clean and easy to deal with.
