A stylish shoebox
Stylish and inexpensive in a neighborhood with striking income inequality and gentrification, and not as easily accessible via the Metro as it may appear based on the map (I am a former DC resident and generally very familiar walking all over large cities). More notable though was that although it was inexpensive, the room was among the smallest I've ever been in and just much smaller than was worth the price.

It's just ok
Stay was ok. place seemed clean and rooftop bar was nice. Room is small with a sink in the room, not the bathroom which felt weird. Lots of street noise and parking is annoying. No gym if that is important to you. Front desk staff was nice but hard to get accurate information from them.

Fun Little Hotel for the Casual Traveler
Neat little hotel but staff not very friendly, curtains don’t quite cover windows to block out light and tv process is terrible. Bathroom sinks while cool looking are in no way functional when it comes to staging your toiletries.
