Amazing location, close to many museums and national sites. The shower had very little water pressure and only sometimes would give hot water after fiddling a lot with the faucet. But they were prompt to respond and fix it when we reported it.

Excellent location for seeing all of the DC historical sites room is very centrally located and walking distance to most everything. The only complaint I had of the hotel is the shower. First off the water is extremely hot like too hot that it will burn you. The second issue with the shower is you have to open the door away from the handle to turn it on so when you turn the shower on the water comes down on you and get you wet with cold water, which doesn’t feel good.

Great hotel location in DC for visiting many of the museums. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and the hotel and our room was very clean. Bed is fairly firm but overall comfortable. Only thing that could have made it better is if they would offer an economical breakfast option.

Expected more....

First off it wasn't cheap for this place. 2k for five nights for a basic room with two beds. Service was great and the room was clean but the room was just in bad shape. Furniture is on its last leg. Carpets are old, stained and just a little nasty. Same thing with the carpets in the hallway too! Bathroom was old and needs to be touched up. The water pressure in the shower was amazing though. They definitely get props for that. The wallpaper was peeling off everywhere. Look, I know I didn't book a 5-star hotel but I felt like I booked a 1-2 star hotel. Walls are thin and you can fully hear your neighbors above, below and to the sides. Breakfast for $26? Really? Not worth it.
