I stayed here as a "staycation" during 4th of July holiday. Room was cozy. The overall theme of the hotel is cute, I'm all about women's empowerment. Hotel pool was small and crowded so i wouldn't stay here if you are looking for a luxury pool experience.

The decorative throw blankets that lay across the bed are a nice touch but dirty. There were obvious stains on ours that were a bit appalling to see. The showers have a unique design but generally not convenient to use. Not my favorite room/room setup ive stayed at but hotel does have positives. Very unimpressed with the food from the rooftop bar but the view was amazing! The complimentary store where you can checkout items is convenient and useful! The hotel also offers activities and spaces that make it easy to have a good time. The art and history around the hotel gives the guest something to enjoy in downtime.

Came to Washington DC for the 1st time a d was looking to be walking distance to the main attractions. But we had to get an U er at all times. All is walking distance but for us 12-15 longgg blocks were too much. The Hotel looks better in pictures than in person. We couldn’t check in early, we were sent since 2:00pm to the Rooftop to wait. They called us 5-minutes before 3pm to check in. The Rooftop had many people waiting for the same. Not allowed to check in early unless you want to be charged $25. The shower after 2-3 minutes gets controlled and then goes to burning to super cold. Without touching the handle. We also had no extractor in the bathroom. Dim lights and dim sink water as well. The beds were pretty comfy but the pillows were too thick. Woke up with neck pain every morning. Not what I was expecting. Next time staying closer to the Museum lane to be be more central.
