We did not arrive to a clean, modern, boutique hotel as indicated on the photos. The room was rundown and in need of renovations. There was a musty smell and the furniture was old and dilapidated.

Not a happy place. I stayed for 4 nights in April and it was very hot in Washington. There was no air conditioning for the first two nights which made my stay very uncomfortable. The staff blamed this on the local authorities but other nearby hotels had A/C. I asked to be allowed to check out at 1 pm on my last day instead of 11 am. The staff refused and charged my card for an extra night even though I did check out at 1 pm and was told that I would be assessed $100. An altogether tough experience. Unlikely to come back or recommend the place to others.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The rooms were filthy- stains everywhere and on everything. I had to wash all kitchenware before use because it was so dirty. I was going to run a load of dishes before I checked out, but the dishwasher was full of stank, stale water. There were stains on everything in this room. Additionally, I went down to the front desk to ask to extend my checkout from 11 am until 1pm for late check out. She told me they wouldn’t be able to do that, and that they could only extend it for “an hour.” I was happy with that, and expected to pay the $50 late fee. I was then met at my room by two different people 15 minutes apart. The woman who I spoke to at the front desk told me she said “11:30,” which is simply not true. She said “an hour.” So they basically kicked me out of the room after promising it to me for an extra hour. On the plus side, they didn’t charge me their egregious rate of $50/hour (that I know of yet), and the location is great. Located right near metro stations, cafes, food, dupont circle, and georgetown. Definitely a great area to stay in, but not a great hotel.

Pros: The staff was amazing and very friendly!! They were always more than happy to help and said hello and welcome back everytime we walked in or left. They had laundry we could use with free detergent and free dryer sheets. They held our luggage after checkout while we toured the city some more. Plus I like that there was no daily housemaid service as I prefer no one come in my room. If you needed towels or anything they were more than happy to get you whatever you needed.

Awesome stay there to roam Washington DC with my family and parents. Staffs were great and parking is just backside of the facility. It has kitchen and utensils so no need to carry anything if you are planing to stay there for longer and cook by yourself. Across the road there is grocery shop and you will get everything what you need including bouquets, wine beers and all food items. Awesome place.

Very nice hotel, excellent staff, loud neighbors.

The hotel is very nice. Location is excellent. 15-20 min walk to the national mall. Supermarket and a few stores, restaurant and pubs across the street. Short walk to George town which is very fun area. We were there on a weekend so we easily parked on the street. The rooms are big, clean and conferrable. Kitchen is a bit outdated but very well equipped. 24 hours front desk. Overall, we had an excellent stay and this is a very good hotel. The only problem was that we had bed luck with VERT loud neighbors. A group of about 10 young people who came to party. First night, they got back to the room around midnight and were up and loud till 5am!! However, on the second night we asked the (very nice) guy at the front desk and he went up and talked to them. He was amazing and he had to go up twice but eventfully (around 1am) they were quieter. So, I think putting families next door to such a group was not good idea BUT the front desk person was amazing trying to solve it.
