Very good location, parking underground (for approximately $40/day - which I did not realize 😫), friendly staff and clean rooms. There’s a gym, snacks and frozen meals available 24-7, a retro diner in the hotel that has good burgers and also vegan options. The bathroom in my room had the BEST lighting on the mirror, made my makeup routine easy.

I was initially given a room different than the one I had booked. The staff was accommodating to get me into the correct type of room. The room itself was fine, but showed serious signs of wear and tear. The shower was extremely slow to drain.

It was a decent little hotel right downtown in DC close to everything we needed to see! The price was a little high for the plainness of it but it was clean and felt safe and walkable distance to everything tour related. The restaurant inside was good and fairly priced. And it was fast to get a taxi and the bell service was there to assist with that. Would stay here again
