Front desk displayed unprofessional & no courtesy
My partner and I came to DC during the snowstorm hit and everything was closed. We enjoyed our stay there and tried to communicate about extend our stay for one more night with a front desk about 7 pm. He was rude and left in middle of conversation. We decided to moved to Kellogg hotel next day even there were no one driving (taxi, uber, lyft, etc)

Room was small but that was fine with me. The view was looking tight at another building - so I close the drapes. Cool experience at the bar on the roof. People were kind

Great location, but needs a few tweaks
The room and the premises are clean. I loved its location near Union Market. However, the reception shoild change its card readers. As I was about to pay my safety deposit, I never saw a prompt on the reader. Despite this technical issue, the reception entered my card into the payment software on computer.
Secondly, the other issue was the hardness of the pillows.

10/10, would return
Had a great time at Hotel Nell. We were spending our time elsewhere during the day, so I can’t speak for the bar or restaurant, but the hotel stay was great.
My only very minor issue was that I felt like I was showering the dark, but that was more an unreasonable expectation on my part that wasn’t met.
We traveled with our dog, and that went well too. Would definitely return.

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.
